 ICA’s annual book fair returns on 12 & 13 September, bringing together over 90 publishers for a weekend celebrating independent and artist publishing.

Alongside a vibrant fair, the weekend features talks, workshops, book launches and an exhibition, spotlighting the artist-led networks that sustain creative publishing today.

The talks programme brings together Gem Fletcher, Campbell Addy and Gabby Laurent to reflect on the future of photobooks, Jesse Glazzard and Biogal chat about the importance of friendship and community, while independent publishers come together to discuss who shapes the zeitgeist. To celebrate Pina Magazine's new issue, American Artist and Lola Olufemi join Catalina Imizcoz in conversation while Verso celebrates the launch of The Breaking of the English Working Class with Jonas Patrick Marvin.

Hands-on workshops are led by Ibrahim Azab, Kairo Urovi and Eva Jonas while TALKER presents a new performance. The weekend also features the LCC x ICA New Makers Prize with Romy Altman, while a display by Kalpesh Lathigra marks the launch of a new publication with Oval Press.

Running throughout the week, 12 – 20 September, a new exhibition by Jesse Glazzard marks the launch of his new photobook with Self Publish, Be Happy. The Sound of Dirt and Beauty reimagines the family album through photography, intimacy and the living archive.
