Photo Book Day & És_Festival

Today is #PhotoBookDay, and this year we are too busy to plan something cool, but don't worry, Saturday we are going to be at Carrer Vic in Barcelona, where, all along the street there will be desks full of self-made stuff. The És_Festival is curated by Somos Emperador, a four young artist collective from Barcelona.

If you want some information of the Photo Book Day, you can click here and go to the website. Find on the map you nearest event and go there. Our friends from Photobook Club Barcelona, Photobook Club Girona and Photobook Club Madrid are doing things, if you are near, ho there!

But! THAT'S not all. Stay tuned because today night we will have a next photozine called "In Heaven". A nice publication from the young photographer Reginald Levy.

World Photobook Day

Monday, 14 October was the Internacional Photobook day. We didn't knew that untill we saw the poster from Photobook Club Madrid. We copy the information from there to understand the why of this day:

This date is a direct homage to the first photobook known: Photographs of British algae. Cyanotype impressions of Anna Atkins. Since we do not know the date of publication, we have taken the date of entry in the catalog the copies for the British Library.

This year marks the 170th anniversary of that date and we’d love you to join this celebration and turn that day into a global event organizing an event related to the Photobook in your respective cities. (The news continues here).

We didn't go to Madrid, and we couldn't go to the activity the Photobook Club Barcelona did the day before at the "Observatorio" (photographs here), but we did a small chat to some master students at La Massana school of Art and Design. We talked about the photozines we published on Bad Weather and we add other phtozines from the Fanzinepaper collection.

Before starting.
