third in a series of symposia hosted by the Centre for
Postdigital Cultures (CPC) exploring contemporary approaches
to experimental publishing. Over the course of the series, we
will ask questions about the role and nature of
experimentation in publishing, about ways in which
experimental publishing has been formulated and performed in
the past, and ways in which it shapes our publishing
imaginaries at present. This series aims to conceptualise and
map what experimental publishing is or can be and to explore
what lies behind our aims and motivations to experiment <i>through </i>publishing.

a designer based in Amsterdam. Since 2014 she works as My
Bookcase, a creative studio exploring the role of the book and
its reader in today’s society through digital projects,
workshops, events, commissions and exhibitions. In 2018, My

among artists and writers to know how publishers work and how
to reach each other. Garriga is also a founding member of
Publication Studio Glasgow and has led many courses and
workshops in a wide variety of art organisations and
institutions. She holds a Mlitt in Fine Art from The Glasgow

publishing can be positioned as an intervention, a mode of

between practice and theory, criticality and creativity, and
