Programme
2–3:30pm Sticker Printing Drop In Workshop with Tommy Brentnall (Physical Interface) and Saundra Liemantoro (Em–Dash)
Join artists & zine makers Tommy Brentnall and Saundra Liemantoro to explore using repurposed postal label makers and other thermal printers as DIY printmaking tools! Drop in any time and see how easy it is to produce reams of stickers and labels using only the desktop printer your mate uses for their ecommerce business.
Tommy Brentnall is an Illustrator, designer, printmaker and occasional radio host in London (mostly). He runs the (very) small publishers Physical interface and has been consistently printing stickers since around 2019!
Saundra Liemantoro is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and maker working through print, ceramics, and living systems. Their practice inscribes meaning to crafted objects to examine personal and collective identities. They are also ½ of Em—Dash, a studio + press experimenting with the book form and playfully publishing work that spans art practice, research, and visual culture.
4–5pm The Need for Transfeminist Publishing: Tools & Tactics with amy etherington (lecture)
The fascist imperial core is attempting to eradicate trans women. Perhaps what we need is space for trans women to write weapons for their sisters, free from the requirement to perform trauma and make jokes about girldick as textual, autotheoryfiction pornography for a clapping #ally audience. Perhaps what is required is a space for trans women to write as serious women, demanding women’s pages as we might demand women’s land. In this lecture, amy will insist upon the need for specific, transfeminist publishing, before exploring tools and tactics for stealing the resources (material and immaterial) required to start. Accompanying the lecture is a print publication allowing attendees to follow along with her words.
amy is a graphic designer, researcher and writer, whose practice lives under the umbrella of elsewhere press. Through elsewhere she explores possibilities of transfeminist publishing as part of a political graphic design research practice, resulting in work spanning publications, performance and brutal slamming lesbian death metal.
