Tuesday 24 April 2012, by
In this session, we gather passionate Berlin based independent publishers to further explore pressing issues such as distribution and promotion, also strategies to improve the sustainability of independent publishing activities. We invite the following panel to reflect how they (individually or collectively) would exercise soft power in order to enhance their publication’s credibility and desirability among international cultural elites and readership.
This forum is part of Unendliche festival and mark the launch of Kombinat Literatur Berlin - a new platform aims to support the independent publishing scene in Berlin by interconnecting the different elements involved in this process.
The goal of Kunst Apotheke Salon is to facilitate critical exchange among cultural workers, in particular to widen strategies to sustain creative practices. For more information, please visit here

Anonymous Author Editions is an independent publisher, working as a collective of artists, designers and writers that was founded in May 2011. This project aims at researching how collective work in the process of publishing takes place when all the sense authorship is removed, which new meanings/narratives can a "book" acquire when this happens, and how does the process of doing and launching a book changes accordingly.

ATLAS Projectos is a publisher of art projects in printed, audio/visual and exhibition formats, founded in 2007 and currently based in Lisbon (PT) and Berlin (DE), run by André Romão, Gonçalo Sena and Nuno da Luz. As a publisher, we intend to give visibility and circulation to projects and contents we believe in, where each object follows its own logic of production and print run, working in close relation with authors and collaborators.
We edit, design, produce and distribute what we publish, along with independent collaborations with other publishers, allowing the circulation of resources and helping the progression from us to you: to publish→ to render public →to divulge. "
