Dropping In and Out
This publication brings together contributions from authors across disciplines, generations, and geographical contexts to examine how the artistic legacies of women and nonbinary people are shaped, remembered, and sometimes overlooked. Emerging from the interdisciplinary project Dropping In and Out, it explores questions of artistic visibility and disappearance in times of uncertainty, considering how artists navigate instability, failure, and renewal amid changing social and material conditions.
The publication combines essays and interviews with a participatory approach to bookmaking. In collaboration with MIZDRUK, the covers were produced through an analog printing process that embraces errors and variations, resulting in 75 unique covers.
