ICA’s annual book fair returns, bringing together over 90 publishers for a weekend celebrating independent and artist publishing.

Gabby Laurent and Campbell Addy join Gem Fletcher to reflect on how books function within their practice and on their learnings from exploring independent and DIY publishing journeys, as well as working with institutions.

Join Ibrahim Azab in building re-imagined cityscapes. In teams and as individuals, participants will build 3D structures from flat images whilst re-composing Capital landscapes. 

To celebrate the opening of Jesse Glazzard: The Sound of Dirt and Beauty, Jesse Glazzard will be in conversation with artist Biogal and ICA Talks and Events Curator, Hannah Geddes.  

Join us for the London launch of Pina issue #3, featuring a conversation between American Artist and Lola Olufemi, moderated by Pina’s editor-curator Catalina Imizcoz.

What has become of the English working class in the twenty-first century? Join Jonas Patrick Marvin and Amelia Horgan for a talk discussing the launch of his new book with Verso.

Who decides the zeitgeist? What's in and out in contemporary publishing? Independent publishers SMUT Press, HELA Press and Tummy Ache join Flora Gau to unpack who gets published, what gets championed and how to sustain a career in publishing. 

How might a gesture become an image? What can queer movements and visual strategies of the past teach us about shared space, authorship and collective making? In this workshop, participants will use photography as a relational tool, exploring staged and improvised encounters with objects, structures and one another. 

Continuing our exploration of alternative publishing spaces, A Flickering Space Where the Deed Dissolves transforms TALKER into a live, generative publication, weaving interviews, live-feed cameras and record players into an evolving constellation of performance knowledge.

Jesse Glazzard’s new exhibition for GLUE 2026, marks the launch of his new photobook with Self Publish, Be Happy. The Sound of Dirt and Beauty reimagines the idea of the family through photography, intimacy and the living archive.
