Threat of Publishing

Featuring founder Chen Yun, participating remotely from Shanghai, China in discussion with Louis Rastelli (Volume MTL/ ARCMTL).

Join us for this presentation and discussion of the 51 Personae project, an art publishing network that presents and distributes independent publications from China at fairs around the world in reaction to Chinese restrictions on publishing and book fairs. Independent publishing is always challenging the establishment of mainstream ideologies, but this freedom is increasingly under threat in an increasing number of contexts around the world. How to survive increasingly harsh circumstances has to become part of the creativity of art publishing itself. It is not only the content, but the methodology and strategy to keep safe and keep going that is becoming art.

How can you participate? Join us in person or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube.
