THEBOOKSHOW is a Singapore-based initiative that began in 2014. It aims to act as a platform for aspiring artists to showcase self-published photo-based books conceived out of passion.

Through the use of the book, a basic and familiar medium, THEBOOKSHOW advances towards being a mediator between the art world and the general public.

THEBOOKSHOW believes very much in challenging the medium – moving away from the conventional form that the book takes. In time, it hopes to build a substantial database advocating that the book form is an art in and of itself.

In this hour-long session, join us in a conversation on self-publishing in Singapore and find out more about self-published books by both emerging and established local artists.
