Printed Publication

This publication refuses sequence: it circulates, drifts, returns, disappears, and reappears.

There is no first page, by design.

The moment you decide to step onto the boat in the sky you are part of the crew.

What follows is a story about the people who brought it into being. ISSUES is the annual, peer-led publication that serves as the milestone public offering for each School of Commons* (SoC) programmatic cycle. ISSUES 2025 collates and contextualises the processes, practices, and methodologies of each participating project within School of Commons 2025, who were each invited to contribute in a form and style that was both reflective of, and complementary to, their own ways and workings.  With contributions by: Alejandro Vasquez Salinas, Alisa Probylova, Alyssa Moxley, Aziza Gorgi, Belén Arellano Cañizares, Brigitte Hart, caro bodensteiner, Cyrine Ghrissi, El puente_lab, Emily Sarsam, Gal Sherizly, Georgia Leigh-Münster, Giuliana Marmo, Guillermo Martinez de Velasco, Hannah Kemp-Welch, Jagna Nawrocka, Jere Ikongio, Jojo Vávra, Juan Sandoval, Kateryna Vavrynchuk, Klara Branting Paulsell, Layla Fassa, Liliana Scapucci, Lou Croff Blake, Madelyn Byrd, Maria Papadomanolaki, Mariangela Aponte Núñez, Mary Sarsam, Nora Sobbe, Oleksandra Tsapko, Pustynia Błedowska, Sara Bouzgarrou, Stefan Ralevic, Ula Liagaitė, Xtina Ariaz, Yue Wu & Yusuf Orhan Printed by @wemakeitberlin Available for purchase HumDrumPress Image courtesy of HumDrumPress

HumDrumPress approaches publishing as an expanded practice and works with a purpose-built commons-based publishing model for creating all of our publications. In our publishing model we have revised each stage in the traditional publishing cycle to make our processes as communal, open-access, and multivocal as possible. We work with methods such as open book events, collective editing, collaborative design, logbooks, and open-access publishing, and are committed to activating the knowledge contained in a publication far before and long after it takes on material form.
