29/03 – 15:00-21:00
VROOM LIBRARY is a community library of books, zines, comics, flipbooks, prints, and other printer matter on the topic of contemporary drawing and experimental comic art. The library features both emerging and established, Belgian and international artists and art collectives. The library is donation-based and will be open for the public to view during our events.
Why a VROOM community library?
Permanent presentation platform: support artists at different points in their careers by having their work represented in a collection
Meeting place: strengthen the community network by hosting events like reading groups, workshops and book presentations
Extension of public space: provide a calm, accessible place for visitors to discover new projects
Promote artistic research: invite artists to engage with the contents of the library (staff picks, curated selection by exhibiting artists,...)
Conservation: gather, conserve and make public a significant portion of the local and international underground zine- and bookmaking scene through the physical library and the online archive
