Jhen Chen hosted a “Copy a Book” workshop, where she brought a collection of books, which participants ‘copied’ by making a book-response to the original book. Pirating, printing techniques, and modifications-as-responses were explored.
Three lecturers were invited:
Januar Rianto from Further Reading Press, on the topic of design discourse in the context of South East Asia, especially the newly published magazine: Further Reading Zine Series: The Southeast Asian Types No.1
Beatrix Pang, the founder of Zine Coop, Small Tune Press and Queer Reads Library, on the topic of distribution strategies in different socio-political contexts and decentralized publishing/art book fair.
and Chang Wen Hsuan, the author of Xsport on Paper: Samplings of Publishing Practices from the Global South, on the topic of how did people in formerly colonized countries struggle against socio-economic challenges through publishing.
