Watch the round table discussions at the inaugural Asymmetry Publishers Festival. Through conversations, participating publishers introduce the world of independent publishing, presenting ideas, asking questions, and responding to each other's practices.
Bringing together publishers, writers, editors, translators, designers, and readers from London and across the world, the three-day festival explores publishing as a way of shaping language, preserving memory, building communities, and creating the conditions through which ideas travel. Through conversations, workshops, readings, performances, and a collective bookshop, the festival will turn the entire Asymmetry HQ into a lively publishing commons, offering a rare opportunity to encounter the relationships, forms of labour, and modes of collaboration that underpin contemporary publishing.
Participating publishers are: 51 Personae; Jordan, jordan Édition; Kayfa ta; Mediabus / The Book Society; Pamenar Press; Plant South Salesroom; Rabbits Road Press; Silver Press / Spiral House; and Tilted Axis Press.
