The Berlin Art Book Festival - Launch Of Decolonizing Art Book Fairs And IDEA POLL Publications
on Aug 18, 2021

On HKW’s roof terrace the editors of Decolonizing Art Book Fairs will discuss the current state of affairs in the field of art and publishing. With Pascale Obolo, Parfait Tabapsi, Yaiza Camps, Moritz Grünke and Michalis Pichler. The global publishing industry is still dominated by gatekeepers in the Global North. To what extent does the colonial gaze shape the publishing scene? How is it possible to decolonize the artbook industry? The physical editions of MISS READ, the Berlin Art Book Fair for both 2020 and 2021 were canceled due to COVID. In lieu of a physical book fair, we gladly invite you to a double book launch taking place at HKW on August 24 at 6 pm. Simultaneous to the book release, a three-day-long online program will follow, featuring live panel discussions, along with content produced and curated for this occasion. Source- E-flux
