Join us for a workshop exploring how printed matters carry diverse, sometime precarious, narratives of places.
As part of the Outland Publishing Fair 2026 event series, this workshop is initiated by community event organiser Pixlogist and co-hosted by curator Stephanie Chung and social designer Elizabeth Wan, both contributing experience in socially-engaged projects across Hong Kong and London.
Pixlogist will bring his collection of printed matters of place-based writing – books around community-building, local revitalisation movements, and out-of-print travel guides - from various East Asian locations. Using this mini library as a starting point, the session will expand beyond publications to explore broader forms of place-based documentation, such as oral history, mapping, and archival practices.
Through an open library and discussion format, Stephanie and Elizabeth will share insights and reflections from their previous projects. Collectively, we will reflect on our own connections with ‘place,’ while engaging with questions around precarity, authorship, and the ownership of local narratives.
Participants are welcome to bring their own examples of place-based printed matters.
