We Make Books invites art publishers from Africa to participate in a programme that looks at the questions and challenges around co-publishing between art book and magazine publishers in Africa. The ‘Co-publishing Art Books in Africa’ workshop, networking event, and mini book fair will take place in Yaoundé, Cameroon from 16-19 February 2023.
The programme supports the creation of a dynamic network of art publishers on the African continent and the participants are invited to become part of a group of publishers engaged in a continuous exchange on art book and magazine making.
The programme includes:
- Travel grant to Yaoundé (transport, accommodation and visa fees).
- Participation in workshop (in English and French with informal translation) that focus on strategies and methodologies of co-publishing with the objective to develop cooperation between publishers and start co-publishing projects to be implemented in 2023.
Applications are open to publishers, artists, and other book and magazine producers (such as galleries and art initiatives) from Africa who publish or want to publish art books and magazines. You have to be interested in co-publishing and are invited to bring your co-publishing ideas or projects.
