Light Factory Publications is excited to join Volume 8 MTL in Montreal September 30 to October 5, 2025. Find us at these events:
- October 2 – LFP will host Undercurrents & Folds, An Artist Book Exchange Event at 4TH SPACE, Concordia University, 1400 Maisonneuve Blvd W, Montreal. Join Lois Klassen, Deanne Achong, and Leah Decter from the project, Undercurrents & Folds, for a hosted artist book exchange. Bring a zine or artist book to exchange, or just come to meet the artists and hear them talk about the project, its alternative distribution methods, and its role in circulating creative production on the topics of migration and diaspora. Reading the Migration Library, a project that was initiated in 2016 is coming to a close, including its exchange action. This is the final opportunity to collect Undercurrents & Folds titles (from the RML3 phase) by exchange. Following this event RML3 inventory will be sold for $30/copy to help finance its final exhibition. Other RML titles will also be available for exchange at this event and at the vendor table (see below). Click here for information on attending in person, or online by zoom or YouTube streaming.
