Bound Art Book Fair 2024
Shape the success of another Manchester School of Art self publishers showcase at Bound Art Book Fair!
We are looking for a collective of students to run a table on behalf of fellow MSoA students at this years Bound Art Book Fair, running 30th of November – 1st of December 2024.
About this years Bound Art Book Fair:
“The fair will feature dozens of local and international publishers, artist presses and collectives, as well as a free public programme of talks, workshops and parties. This year our programme examines the cultures and politics of food and dining: recipe zines, cookbooks, culinary newsletters, community food initiatives, food in the arts and artists working with food. We’ll host panels exploring publishing practices that preserve the cultures, communities and contradictions of diasporic foodways, and the intersecting roles of both digital space and the printed page in contemporary discourses around cooking and eating, appetite and hunger.”
More information can be found here: https://boundartbookfair.co.uk/
Selected students will showcase their own publications at the fair, and work with MMU staff to create a cohesive project plan and promotion strategy.
Please apply with the following:
> Information about the book / zine project you would like to bring to the fair — a description of the themes, format, printing method, edition size, etc. You must have at least five copies available for sale.
> Link to either documentation of your book / zine, or previous work; online portfolios, Instagram or PDFs.
> A short paragraph about why you’d like to be involved in set up and running of the table.
> Whether you’re available to run the stall at The Whitworth during the dates stated above.
