Presented by Federico Pérez Villoro. ︎︎︎ This project consists of a custom-made software that automatically scrapes data from the Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia, a system through which people can request public information from the Mexican government. The software identifies existing requests associated with topics of common interest that were previously denied on the basis of containing information "classified" by authorities. This ever-increasing flow of unanswered civic concerns are organized as an interactive website that aims to register, through labyrinthine hyperlinks, the bureaucratic opacity and strategic silence of the country's administrative institutions.Transparencia Index is a project by Federico Pérez Villoro.

Presented by Hyperlink Press. ︎︎︎ Towards the Emergence of Equitable Zine Fairs is a new, interactive webzine showcasing the work of 15 emerging zinemakers and meditating on questions of representation and access. Zine fairs and art book fairs often produce a scarcity model; paper, printing, funds, and relevant skills can be a hindrance to young artists, especially those working outside of the west. This project draws inspiration from the recent in-person Emergence Zine Fair in NYC, organized by Hyperlink Press and Yellow Pearls Zine, and offers an opportunity for DIY, emerging zinesters to present their work in a new online format. In place of the sometimes exorbitant pay-to-participate fair model, Hyperlink Press redistributes its commission fee to imagine and enact a system in which artists and zinemakers are paid-to-participate. In doing so, they ask: how much would change if artists and bookmakers were instead paid for their time, labor, and participation? Through the webzine, Hyperlink Press hopes to address the constraints and challenges of making zines, as well as celebrate the generosity and love fundamental to the zine community. ︎ About Hyperlink Press ︎ Watch a conversation between Hyperlink Press and Yellow Pearls Zine as they discuss the making of this project and zine fair strategies&nbsp; afila.si — Black Experience Isn’t a Spectacle. Presented by Anteism Books. ︎︎︎ afila.si [æfilæsi] is a collective digital library anchored in Afro-centered perspectives of history, with aims to fortify the accessibility of these cultural productions through extracted texts and fact-based notes about the othered. In 2020, afila.si organized an exhibition titled Black Experience isn’t a Spectacle, which explored the legacy of the voyeuristic gaze in visual representations of the Black body. For this special online project, afila.si revisits the context of the exhibition in creating a new online publication platform with interactive annotation features that can facilitate community discourse. ︎&nbsp; About Anteism Books︎ Watch a panel discussion about this project&nbsp;with curator Venessa Appiah, designer Jesse Katabarwa, and publisher Harley Smart &nbsp; https://artistsbooksmiami.com/FUNDRAISING-copy Tue, 12 Oct 2021 14:19:47 +0000 Printed Matter + EXILE Books at NADA Miami https://artistsbooksmiami.com/FUNDRAISING-copy <img width="865" height="1200" width_o="865" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/11e3d23964ef22daa9c8db21c4f49aa9f5ec0878c86f053acc36078fa15b2bc2/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.gif" data-mid="121449108" border="0" data-scale="12" data-icon-mode src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/865/i/11e3d23964ef22daa9c8db21c4f49aa9f5ec0878c86f053acc36078fa15b2bc2/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2.gif" /> Donate today to support this special presentation of artists’ books by Printed Matter + EXILE Books at NADA Miami!

These contents are organized around distinct zones of artistic production—urban neighborhoods identified with particular subjects, materials, and forms. Focusing on 14 of these areas’ exemplary artists, PÒTOPRENS mirrors the geography of the city that inspired it.&nbsp; Thursday, 12/02<img width="1312" height="852" width_o="1312" height_o="852" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8b5f8754a28df0e7edf19f1204a9c5f2bffe914292dccd9d556be1b6df0b82e/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-9.01.07-AM.png" data-mid="127685505" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8b5f8754a28df0e7edf19f1204a9c5f2bffe914292dccd9d556be1b6df0b82e/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-9.01.07-AM.png" /> Finding Islandia. Presented by Islandia Journal. ︎︎︎ Islandia Journal is a Miami-based print publication of myth, folklore, history, ecology, cryptozoology, and the paranormal. Publisher Jason Katz presents a taxonomy of all previous Islandias—ranging from a work of utopian fiction to a failed Panamanian resort—then making his way into the specific ecological history of The Lost City of Islandia, Florida. Decommissioned in 2012, Islandia consisted of 33 islands in South Biscayne Bay. Despite multiple efforts, Islandia became the focal point of a rare environmental success story with heroes such as Lancelot Jones. The presentation will be a trip into the past with lessons pertinent to all current South Florida residents, and those who seek to come here in the future.

Hosted by Carlos Loret de Mola, a submerging Cuban American art producer, Radio LosSúm is a music-based extension of the kinds of stories, aesthetics, and verve that inspire their practice.

Presented by Boo-Hooray. ︎︎︎ Boo-Hooray presents A Reading of Douglas Turner Ward’s The Haitian Chronicles by Ron Bobb-Semple, followed by a brief discussion. The Haitian Chronicles is a brutal history of the Haitian Revolution told across 3 plays. The play reflects Ward's political project of satirizing, dramatizing, and revealing the structures of white supremacy throughout the history of this so-called civilization. Douglas Turner Ward (1930-2021) was one of the central, driving forces of the Black Theater movement in the United States and was a co-founder of the Negro Ensemble Company (NEC). Ron Bobb-Semple began acting at the Theatre Guild in Guyana in 1969 and has since starred in plays by Ossie Davis, Joyce Sylvestre, August Wilson, and others as well as his one-person cultural and educational presentation, The Spirit of Marcus Garvey; he continues to act, direct, and produce today. Boo-Hooray proudly placed the Douglas Turner Ward Archive at Emory University’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives and Rare Book Library in 2017. The Archive includes many working drafts of the numerous plays Ward directed and wrote, manuscript materials, and correspondence with other icons of the Black Arts. Please note this reading includes sensitive and graphic language. Signings &amp; Launches Wednesday T29 &nbsp;&nbsp; Launch of To Destroy Is To Build by Czar Kristoff. Presented by Bookdummypress.

Villalobos. Presented by Temblores Publicaciones. ︎︎︎ For more than a decade, XX members have made conceptual artworks by mining archives from Mexico’s Juárez border region. Faced with the dynamics of extreme violence on the northern border, how can we distort images that try to annihilate desert life? This program celebrates the launch of The Liquid Gates of Time, a catalog of the eponymous exhibition at the Rubin Center of the University of Texas in El Paso. Curator Kate Green, artist Oscar Gardea Duarte, and the editors of the book Ana García and Jesús Villalobos will discuss the process of making this publication, as well as engage a critique of the extractivist and violent nature of these carceral border institutions. <img width="1217" height="688" width_o="1217" height_o="688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67b0d8bc5b308e637bfe7b50546ce12adb932722f1c728b4776a2fc59eacabb8/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-2.00.45-PM.png" data-mid="124778790" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67b0d8bc5b308e637bfe7b50546ce12adb932722f1c728b4776a2fc59eacabb8/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-2.00.45-PM.png" /> Come To My Window: 2.

O’Brien, and Yasmine Nachabe Taan. Presented by Seaton Street Press. ︎︎︎Seaton Street Press presents Heather M. O’Brien’s publication, like the delayed rays of a star, as a conversation with the book’s contributors, Yasmine Nachabe Taan, Juli Carson, and Corinne May Botz. Together, the discussants respond to O’Brien’s book, which contemplates the role of the gaze in photography while attempting to pierce the propaganda surrounding US-centric perceptions of Beirut. The book, Like the delayed rays of a star, questions the misplaced anxieties of what it means to grow up in a post-9/11 image landscape, to live and work in Lebanon, and give birth to one’s first child in Beirut on August 4th—the same day as the catastrophic 2020 Beirut explosion. By documenting a confluence of “perfume, smoke, fruit, flowers, baking bread, and exhaust fumes,” the book aims to confront a conditioned culture of fear by elevating sun-drenched portraits from O’Brien’s domestic space, which is explored in each contributor’s role within the publication and conversation. In moments charged by Beirut's 2019 rebellion, economic collapse, the pandemic, and the most recent 2020 blast, this work seeks to resist narrative tropes of a western gaze by asking us, "will there ever be another way to see Beirut?” <img width="1000" height="633" width_o="1000" height_o="633" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b3962246455d8a3378368c87facab7cde156cd3f11d7689430e58ae4bca1594/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-2.05.58-PM.png" data-mid="124778791" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b3962246455d8a3378368c87facab7cde156cd3f11d7689430e58ae4bca1594/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-2.05.58-PM.png" /> The Banana Republican Mixtape.
