Can Grapes
Can Grapes is a collective created in 2020 in Barcelona by photographers Ana Benavent, Arnau Sidera, and graphic designer Gerard Soler. The collective works with zines (self-published magazines) related to image creation and editing. It is a project that aims to explore the creation, editing, and distribution of this type of publication with complete freedom. Can Grapes strives to be a platform for dissemination and creation. Therefore, they participate in independent book and zine markets (Revela’t, Fiebre Photo Book, Grapa y Tinta), hold workshops both in schools and within the framework of photo festivals, and provide advice to people who want to start their own self-published projects. Their publications are available for purchase at the Fatbottom bookstore, in the Alalimón and Fotocolectania galleries, and in their webshop.

Take 10
Take 10 Press is an artist-run publishing house and a nomadic library based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The project focuses primarily on image-based publications (with an emphasis on photographic practices), to explore and highlight non-text-based ways of reading and creating meaning.
Take 10 Press aims to be a concentrated hub that celebrates and promotes printed material, with a focus on publications that otherwise have difficulty reaching out via regular bookstore channels. By highlighting the great importance of artists’ books, they want to increase the visibility of those who work with this medium. Take 10 Press organizes events around Gothenburg, but is also open to international collaborations.

The project is curated by Alberto Rossi

Pony Books
Pony Books is a cooperative bookstore and meeting place in Gothenburg with a focus on queer and artistic independent publications. It is a place where you can discover and celebrate independently published queer and art books – born out of a love for these often hard-to-reach works. But Pony Books is much more than a bookstore – it is a community space where we hold talks, workshops, concerts, film screenings and other events. It is a place where people can meet, share ideas, learn and explore art and culture in a supportive environment.
At Pony Books, we are passionate about supporting independent cultural initiatives and building a strong, engaged community that values collaboration and mutual support.
