Launch of PrintRoom’s Leesmap of artist publishing
& Bebe Books x PrintRoom x Masha Krasnova-Shabaeva Calendar 2024

Saturday 16 December
18:00 - 21:00

An evening with artist presentations, wet-off-the-press-zines and a cheeky calendar. We welcome you with mulled wine and spicy soup!

The first edition of PrintRoom’s Leesmap playfully gathers a range of (maga)zines by artists and publishers. It will be distributed to multiple places: from the hairdresser and the dentist to the art space, laundromat, library and (your?) living room.

Leesmap is inspired by the Dutch phenomenon ‘leesmap’, a file with mainstream magazines that come in an anonymous cover. Ours will contain a women’s zine, a q***r zine, an architecture zine, a children’s zine, a zine on parenthood and one on baking.

With contributions by Ruth van Beek, Basje Boer, MonoRhetorik/Matt Plezier, J**z Taco, Czar Kristoff, Rose Nordin, Sarmad Platform/Alireza Abbasy, Priya Jay, Yusser Salih, Ulufer Çelik, Alaa Abu Asad, Claudia de la Torre, Eva Posas, Marie Déhé, Yuliya Gwilym, Happy Potato Press, Teuntje Fleur, José Quintanar, Cengiz Mengüç, Nicole Martens, Dongyoung Lee, and others.

Bebe Books, PrintRoom and Masha Krasnova-Shabaeva collaborated on a 2024 explicit wonder. This year’s Calendar will focus on longing, a daily reminder to connect with our bodies, to play with it and pleasure it. Treat your eyes and soul and get your copy!

* Artists and designers present their contributions.
* Baking of traditional date cookies with Alaa Abu Asad.
* Purchase a special limited edition of the new zine Printing Plates: Books for Bread. Profit goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
