The sixth episode of Subversive Publishing Strategies is with Chiara Figone of Archive Books; a community of practitioners collaborating across regions and socio-political environments. Their work is deeply rooted in a sustained scrutiny of the role of languages, visuality, and archives in the perpetration of the coloniality of knowledge. Archive’s impulse to publish stems from the desire to disseminate stories for the subversive potential they can yield, creating cracks in dominant narratives, fleeing accounts of history with a capital H and turning to the power of the fragment. 

Join us in this 8-episode podcast as we explore independent publishing practices worldwide. Uncover challenges faced by artists' collectives, cultural organizations, and indie publishers as they counter harmful systems. This series extends from A Very Short and Incomplete Guide to Subversive Publishing Strategies that was commissioned by Framer Framed in Amsterdam as part of the project The New Social. Hybrid Strategies for Cultural Spaces.
