The 8^th edition of Paris Ass Book Fair will take place from 5 to 7 June 2026 at Palais de Tokyo. Creators, authors, art lovers and collectives from all over the world will come together to present books, zines and every kind of editions.

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, an urge to stimulate minds and bodies. It is a celebration of countercultures in all their richness and diversity, where one can discover—among others—gay, queer, feminist, underground, punk, decolonial artists and publishers, as well as defenders of environment or researchers exploring the margins of conventional systems of thought.

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, 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 and questionings which go against the majority norms.

A place for sharing tastes and ideas, the fair proposes a program of talks and performances.

For its 8^th edition, the Paris Ass Book Fair is rethinking its scenography to offer more space to each exhibitor and a better experience for its visitors.

The open call, accessible through the link below, is open until 24 January 2026.
