The Mexican Centre for Book Arts

  • 1. University of the Arts London

Description

ABSTRACT

In Mexico there is a gap in Book Arts, there is an incredible history in traditional books and creativity for their innovation. However, there is not an institution focusing on connecting the practice of librarians, publishers, artists, artisans, bookbinders, readers, among others. We do have many important international book fairs, bookshops and libraries, but we are not at the forefront as USA and UK in the book arts scene. All this suggest that there is an entrepreneurial opportunity to establish as soon as possible a cultural institution. So, how do we imagine The Mexican Centre for Book Arts? This project will develop in long-term collaboration, community and cooperation. Not only within Mexico, it will encourage the networking and opportunities between other countries and other Centres for Book Arts already established.
