Sunday May 17, 12pm
With Jamelie Hassan & Ron Benner, Laura Moseley and Haruko Okano
Moderated by Lois Klassen
Vancouver Art Book Fair
Roundhouse Arts & Recreation Centre, 181 Roundhouse Mews, Vancouver

Bringing together local and international practitioners working across publishing, visual art, activism, public art, and craft, this panel explores publishing as a mode of creative resistance. With particular focus on the economic and cultural conditions that perpetuate artistic precarity, speakers explore the possibilities of art and publishing to nurture radical action, levity, and fruitful reorientations in our current era. 

Produced in partnership with the Burnaby Art Gallery and the Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum.
