Distant Intimacy,
An evening on Self-Help and Co-Creation

with Marie Déhé and Haydée Touitou

1 December
19.30 – 21.00
Doors open at 19.00

Presentation of publications & film screening

Artist Marie Déhé and writer Haydée Touitou will present their publications and engage in a public conversation about what it means to co-create as artists – without being an artist duo. In a situation of distant intimacy, they found themselves working together, again and again. The screening of their video Self-Help is part of tonight’s programme.

In a round table conversation, moderated by Alexandre Furtado Melville, Marie and Haydée will reflect on ways to support one another in collective practices. They will touch upon shared correspondence, the wider family, spaces of residence, and the meaning of place.



Design:

From 9 - 12 November PrintRoom joins Offprint Paris at the Pavillon de l'Arsenal. Offprint hosts a selection of independent, experimental and socially engaged publishers in the fields of art, architecture, design, humanities and visual culture.
PrintRoom presents a selection of publications and works by publishing platforms that we dearly support. In line with the Books Are Bridges concept, we will bring back new editions for our shop and archive in Rotterdam.

At Offprint we will serve watermelon (in the form of a pin) and Cease Fire buttons. Donate what you can. Proceeds go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

We also bring reprints of Intifada Milk (2015), which explores a hidden chapter in the history of Palestinian resistance, and its vision to be an independent nation. Illustrations by Sofia Niazi, with text by Arwa Aburawa and created for the OOMK Visions of the Future reading room exhibition at IHRC Bookshop. Reprinted by PrintRoom in November 2023.
On our table, books by: .lefebvre.editions .ol.shop
Soon at PrintRoom, new books by (good to see you!)
Thanks for having us!
