Publishing as Collective Practice

STIGMATA is dedicated to the margins, amplifying voices from the peripheries of history. We explore the edges, re-digesting history to rethink the future of transnational exchange. Our mission is to challenge cultural norms and reimagine collective futures.

STIGMATA

Exploring  independent publishing and radical print as tools of  shared ownership and collective thinking.

Photobookcafe

This workshop explores independent publishing and radical print as tools for dismantling personal authorship and fostering collective idea-sharing. Participants will actively contribute to a collaborative publication, created as a live-printed paper scroll. Fragments of this scroll will be given to each participant to take home.&nbsp;Moderated by M Lissoni, founder of STIGMATA, the workshop is divided into two parts:(1) SHARING: A brief presentation and discussion on collective publishing practices, exploring shared ownership and the historical and spiritual aspects of printed texts.&nbsp;(2) OFFERING: Participants submit images and texts (e.g., found imagery, book excerpts, personal writings) to STIGMATA’s live digital document. These contributions will be edited and printed in real-time as part of a continuous scroll. During the printing process, participants can discuss and observe the publication taking shape. Each participant will leave with a piece of the scroll, representing shared authorship. <h3>Activity Timeline</h3>6pm Doors Open6:30pm (1) ‘Sharing’: Intro/Talk on publishing practices7:15 Break/Refreshments7:30 (2) ‘Offering’: Collective activity and live printing8:30pm Closing <h3>What to bring</h3>Images, text, or research to share with the group.
