After a two-year absence, Paris Ass Book Fair returns to Lafayette Anticipations from 3 to 5 June 2022.
Paris Ass Book Fair was born from the desire to give an important place to marginal and untimely sensibilities, desires and aspirations, and to affirm a joyful approach to art and publishing, a taste for provocation and the absurd, a joy in stimulating minds and bodies.
Every year since 2017, the fair has brought together dozens of artists, booksellers, publishers and zinesters around this commitment: to show printed matter as a medium in its own right, a vehicle for creativity, individual and collective expression. The publications and projects presented at the fair adopt formats at the crossroads of many fields: fanzines, artists’ books, magazines, clothing, multiples and art objects, novels, essays, posters, etc.
The fair is curated with the constant concern of privileging those who have limited access to the market and whose creations are not found in the usual distribution circuits; as well as those who give voice to experiences, questionings, desires, which go against the majority norms, and which can open our eyes. As a consequence, the fair gives a very large place to LGBTQ+ people and offers a platform to their questioning and expressions. Ultimately, it is about contributing to making our society more fair and inclusive—while having fun.
Paris Ass Book Fair takes place across the entirety of Lafayette Anticipations, where more than eighty French and international exhibitors are gathered. A crossroad for exchange and sharing, the fair is accompanied by a programme of events and special projects.
