PROGRAM:

09:00-13:00 The Clumsy Bird - workshop by Juan Pablo Plazas
15:00-16:30 Is riso in/out? - roundtable discussion with Antoine Carcano, Milan Gillard, and Sudest + Gird (moderated by Gabri Molist)

19:00-20:00 (Pen)Plotter twist - experiment by Open Source Publishing




THE CLUMSY BIRD
workshop
by Juan Pablo Plazas
09:00-13:00
(GET YOUR TICKET HERE)
Recently, artist and anthropologist Juan Pablo Plazas has been exploring ways to help people identify their needs and develop tools to address them.

In this workshop, JPP invites you to create a neighbourhood newspaper, The Clumsy Bird, dedicated to the needs of the neighbourhood. Together, we’ll turn the lives and stories of local residents into news and publish a newspaper documenting the neighbourhood as it is that day.




IS RISO IN/OUT?
roundtable discussion
with Antoine Carcano, Milan Gillard, and Sudest + Gird
moderated by Gabri Molist
15:00-16:30
(FREE)

The hype around riso printing might be behind us, but the merits of riso printing are still obvious. As a cheap, efficient and environmentally friendly way of printing, it remains a favourite among self-publishing authors and small print collectives.

In this roundtable discussion, Antoine Carrasco from Atelier du Toner and Impression forte, Milan Gillard from the Masereel Fonds (and Gilbard, BARN, …), and the collective of independent publishers Sudest+Gird will reflect on the possible future of riso printing.

Gabri Molist, author and OG VROOM member, will moderate the conversation.




WE HAD A PRINTER NAMED CHARLOTTE
workshop
by L'Amicale des archives queer
17:00-18:30
(FREE)

We had a printer named Charlotte is a workshop exploring the entanglement of queer rights movements, the HIV epidemic and copy-machines (specifically Xerox). We like to think of the copy-machine not only as a tool but as an activist itself and fellow co-worker. In this workshop, the Amicale des Archives Queer shares a selection of texts about pre-internet queer printing, publishing and image-making practices. They invite the public to convey memories of their own relationship to printers through poetic expression, echoing through decades of DIY printing. 



(PEN)PLOTTER TWIST
experiment
by Open Source Publishing
19:00-20:00
(FREE)  

Drawing has a lot to do with rhythm, and rhythm boots the gesture. How can the mechanical arm of a pen plotter begin to produce different bpm and timbres? Depending on which lines, patterns or landscapes? Can you listen to shapes being plotted until you start dancing ? And how might one explore the musical genre of a text by listening it being mechanically lettered? Or even, how writing on a plotter can turn into a slow karaoke display?
As a follow-up to its Plotterstation series, the OSP collective would like to present an experiment exploring these twists and turns. Perhaps it will be danceable, perhaps it will simply be really unpleasant noise or delightfully asmr.
