Book and zine workshop "Void Impromptu"
VOID IMPROMPTU
Book & zine workshop with Myrto Steirou and João Linneu
(Applications closed)
6 days || 01.05 - 06.05.2019 || 12 participants
ISSP space in Riga
During this 6-day workshop, Void will edit, create and produce together with the selected artists a unique publication for each one. We will be exploring the entire process of transforming the artist’s voice into a printed matter: from the storytelling to book design and physical production. We are looking for photographers who have a coherent body of work and would like to present it in printed form. A proper photobook dummy will be executed for those with a large project that fits in this length of publication. Zines will be made for those with a more simple body of work.
Up to 12 participants will be selected and 12 publications will be created from the scratch during the 6 days of the workshop.
