Through the voices of independent publishers, this conversation examines publishing as a critical practice in which the book is not merely a vehicle for content, but a space for thought, friction, and experimentation—one that articulates positions, generates dialogue, and builds community. The discussion on what it means to edit from a standpoint, how catalogs with a distinctive voice are constructed, the editorial and ethical decisions that shape projects, and what it entails to sustain independent practices in dialogue with art, theory, and contemporary social contexts.
