Book Launch Event ‘Discovering Voices for a Sustainable Future’

We are thrilled to invite you to an inspiring gathering of authors, publishers, and enthusiasts who share a profound commitment to media arts in all their forms.

Join us for an enlightening event dedicated to celebrating authors and publishers who have fearlessly delved into the heart of environmental issues, sustainable artistic and curatorial production, and the creation of dynamic, interactive archives.

Why This Event Matters:
While these significant books hold vital insights and perspectives, they often face challenges in reaching the wide audience they deserve. Despite their unquestionable relevance in today’s world, their distribution and communication are limited. This event is a celebration of bridging that gap. It is about shining a spotlight on these literary gems and creating a space where their research, vision, and approach can be known, celebrated, and shared.

What to Expect:
> Engaging Conversations: Authors and publishers will discuss their works, sharing the motivations, challenges, and hopes that drove their creative process.
> Networking: Connect with fellow authors, publishers, and eco-enthusiasts who are equally passionate about creating a sustainable future.
> Book Showcases: Explore a curated collection of thought-provoking books that address the most pressing environmental concerns of our time.
> Idea Exchange: Participate in discussions where attendees can exchange ideas and collaborate on ways to amplify the impact of eco-focused literature.

Authors and publishers with recent books that align with the themes of environmental sustainability, artistic innovation, or forward-looking archives, will present their works in this momentous event. They are:
