About Printed Matters
Printed Matters: The Politics and Aesthetics of Independent Publications invites you to experience independent publishing as both an intimate and political practice. Bringing together books, zines, magazines, and other self-published experiments, the exhibition explores how printed matter can function as a site of resistance, experimentation, and alternative knowledge production where aesthetics are inseparable from politics.
Throughout its duration, the exhibition remains active through workshops on printmaking, editing, and publishing, transforming the space into a living learning environment: part exhibition, part fair, part communal gathering.
Practical information
Please bring a shirt, tote bag or another item to print on.
This programme will take place at VOX-POP, ground floor (Binnengasthuisstraat 9). The event is free of charge and open to all, but we do kindly ask you to register in advance.
Workshop host
Farah Fayyad is a graphic designer and printmaker from Beirut, Lebanon. Classically trained in Arabic calligraphy, her practice aims to preserve the traditional structure and behaviour of the script while reimagining its form—exploring contrast, proportion, and the expressive potential of evolving tools. Farah’s work is mostly within the cultural field, with a special focus on bilingual exhibition and editorial design. Her practice also involves a lot of play with screen-printing in terms of experimentation, teaching, and hosting participatory live printing sessions. Farah is currently based between Beirut and Amsterdam.
Printed Matters curator
Zoi Psimmenou is an interdisciplinary researcher, curator, and exhibition designer with a background in architecture and a MA in Museum Studies from the University of Amsterdam. Rooted in decolonial thinking, critical museology and participatory approaches, her work explores how exhibition making, curatorial practice, and public programming can unsettle authoritative power structures and foster critical, socially engaged exhibition experiences. She continues this inquiry through the public programme Spatial Encounters and the exhibition Printed Matters as Resident Programme Curator at VOX-POP.
