BOOKENDS

This is a new event that we hope will become a regular in the AGITATE calendar, designed for those at the beginning of a photobook journey, or reflecting on something published a wee while ago. If you've been searching for somewhere to talk about your book-making process, to share your work, workings-out and dummies, or to look back on a book with the benefit of hindsight, to get fresh eyes on it, or discuss what you may do differently now... this is for you.

Please email [email protected] once you have booked a ticket if you plan on presenting so that we can ensure there will be folks bringin work to share. It is not compulsory for everyone to do this, but we do need at least a few willing speakers! If you are sharing a finished product, feel free to bring a few additional copies for us to stock post-event.

Participants are encouraged to bring sequenced prints, spreads and mock-ups, or copies of the book you will be looking back on and speaking about. We will also have a projector set up in case you want to show digital content, but it would be nice to have something tangible to pass around in every session.

Like all of our events, this does require a minimum attendance to go ahead, so please book earlier rather than last-minute. If we don't get enough interest we will have to cancel (at which point your donation will be refunded in full). Snacks will be provided!

This is a ticketed event with limited capacity and you must book in order to attend. Tickets work on a sliding scale, and all proceeds help AGITATE continue to operate and programme events like this. The recommended ticket price is £6, but those who can pay more allow us to keep a sliding scale in place. We do not receive public funding, and your donations ensure the survival of spaces like this, during a frankly impossible time for small businesses.

This event will be seated, and will take place in the main gallery. The gallery is wheelchair accessible, and 6 William Street has an accessible toilet on the basement level, accessible via lift. There is a quiet breakout space downstairs if needed.
