Resistance Through Book Culture
On Valiz and Publishing

Astrid Vorstermans (Valiz, Amsterdam) will give a concise talk on Valiz’ editorial strategies, and on what independent and ‘critical’ publishing means in this context. In times when diversity, plurality of voices, and counter culture are under pressure books, esp. critical books, are an important power to keep real information flowing, meaningful exchanges going, to be able to understand different perspectives, to have insight in how culture is a tapestry with many threads, expressed in text and visually in a plethora of forms, colours and interpretations. Astrid will give a meandering talk on what that means for publishing, and for connecting to authors, designers, bookshops and readers.
