Road Less Travelled Press was initiated in 2021 as a framework towards collective publishing, mutual exchanges and collaboration.

 

Working in pairs, groups and workshops; with photography, dialogue & text, archival materials and book making; developing new approaches as they emerge in the specific context. 

Through collective learning and making, the press’ aim is to generate and circulate narratives of agency towards social and political change.

TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED?



Road Less Travelled Vol. 1




This  volume started with an invitation ---

[ Dear friend] 
could you share an action with me?

I’ve started a publishing initiative called ‘Road Less Travelled Press’. Each volume will be a collaboration and exploration of individual or collective action in public space – from small acts of kindness between strangers and care in the public to activist activity and street protest.

As part of this, I wanted to invite you to contribute a documentation of one act/action in public space with me; something you have been involved with or that you experienced, observed, seen.


Over the next few months, I’ll be producing Volume 1 and an invitation to others to work on future volumes together. To explore new ways of collective making, I wanted to open up this process early on and welcome your contribution and input for this first volume!

During 2021, contributions developed through email exchanges, conversations and a shared google document. Designer Rose Nordin and I met regularly, sharing ideas and working on the publication layout. Riso pages were printed by Jordan Taylor/ Pagemasters.

The first 50 copies were printed and bound together with 7 of the contributors of this publication in spring 2022 and circulated amonst contributors & friends.
