Events
What capacities do artist-publishers have to aid their communities? How can we coordinate social care collectively across our networks? What are our obligations when it comes to exercising an ethic of care in our communities and beyond?
Please join us for an online conversation between two South American publishers, Darío Marroche (Montevideo) and Laura Daviña (São Paulo), about the theory and practice of their community-based work.
Please register in advance at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/publishing-with-communities-social-care-and-network-building-experiences-tickets-125988477929. A link to the webinar will be emailed to you before the event.
Darío Marroche is a Uruguayan architect and designer. Currently working as an independent publisher in visual arts, Marroche coordinates a publication studio
from Montevideo called microutopías. Since 2014, his works have considered the publishing process as a creative act and reflective exercise of graphic activism.
Marroche employs publication as an artistic practice in the generation of microutopías: space-time aesthetic experiences that are socially engaged. He has
organized numerous community-based activities around self-publishing, art books, and visual poetry, and has also coordinated the Montevideo Art Book Fair since 2018.
