Wonderful news to be selected as one of five artists to participate in Farside Collective’s long residency in Leh, India this year. I’ll be heading there for a month in July to make new work and produce an artist book along with photographers, writers, curators and illustrators from Wales, Mexico and India.
The residency is our attempt to bring artists from around the world to this small town in the mountains and create books. Art-books and zines are new to India and we believe it is important to expose people here in Leh locally and India in general to the idea of self-published books. Over both the short & long residencies the artists will work closely with us in a project selected by them manifesting in photographic, literary or illustration based printed matter. Additionally, the long-residency artist offer small workshops for fellow artists and locals in Leh. Upon mutual agreement, Farside Collective will choose books/zines made during both the residencies to be published and distributed in India & abroad.
I’m looking forward to this experience and will post preparations and work in progress here.
