GLUE: Book Fair and Creative Programme
Institute of Contemporary Arts

Book tickets

Calling all publishing creatives and DIY makers! Take part in GLUE, ICA’s new book fair and creative programme taking place across 13 and 14 September. 

Celebrating emerging artists, self-publishing and DIY book makers across the visual arts, GLUE will also bring together established publishers with emerging artists and new practice.

The book fair will take place in ICA’s theatre across Saturday and Sunday with both large and small tables available. Supporting emerging and DIY publishers and artists to come together alongside established makers, we hope to create new dialogues across the industry.

The weekend programme will take place in the Lower Galleries featuring an exhibition with Hot Potato, led by Naoise O’Keeffe and new work from photographer Sana Badri. There will also be drop-in bookbinding workshops by Toe Press, a collective run by Tati El Mallah and Marci Lewis and an open studio with Different Gravy Studio run by Alex Picasso and Louie Stewart. We will also have a talks programme throughout the weekend with artist readings, behind the scenes discussion and practice sharing sessions.

Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of London’s newest book fair!

Full programme to be announced.
