The African Art Book Fair is a platform for debate and encounters with professionals in the field of art publishing and critical production from Africa and the diaspora. The discussions will focus on the ways in which art books are distributed and the challenges of publishing. Taking a critical approach to the many facets of publishing, participants in the round tables will share their experiences and perspectives on publishing.To mark the 10th anniversary of the African Art Book Fair, Lumbung radio is partnering the fair with its Sound journal project. The event also features the Unruly Knowledge sessions, a special programme which is a part of Sustaining the Otherwise, a multi-locational, multi-annual, collaborative research chapter initiated by curators and researchers Amal Alhaag and Selene Wendt.
Station of Commons and Firely Frequencies, together with lumbung radio, organize a radio studio in the African Art Book Fair exhibition space to produce a convivial and social space for listening and recording time. The radio space is located in the center of the fair and operates as the hub for sound practices. Moreover, we record and stream live the African Art Book Fair panel discussions, Station of Commons produces audio material conducted on site. The program may have to be updated as the fair and bienniale progresses. Stay tuned!
