The Books Are Bridges Art Book Fest is an annual event organised within the scope of the Books Are Bridges Publishing Summit. It was initiated as a small-scale gathering for and with artist publishers and experts in this field.

Through an in-depth exchange spread over three days, the programme includes presentations, workshops, shared meals, and more. By initiating this gathering, PrintRoom intends to contribute to the support system and network that encompasses publishing practices, initiatives, and spaces. Simply put, this meeting is an occasion to spend qualitative time together, connecting genuinely through showing, telling, making, eating, and conversing around a shared passion for artist publishing.

This year’s edition is dedicated to archives for artist publications. Together with kindred spirits
from different generations and cultural backgrounds, we take time to intimately explore our collections, discuss our vernacular archiving methods, and reflect on the questions often accompanying our archival practices: How may the archive remain faithful to the intention of a widespread publication while preserving its fragile content? How do we give access to our archives? How can we support archives that are endangered by political crisis or those operating under a fragile economy whose longevity is no longer guaranteed?
