From 17 to 19 January 2025, a working session will be held at l'erg entitled Prototypes for a pirate colportage.
The Prototypes for a pirate colportage working session is an opportunity to speculate on the new clothes that might be worn by the hawker of the future.
Over the course of 3 days, we'll be welcoming pirate librarians, technobricoleurs, artists, designers, researchers and activists to share their ideas in 4 different ways:
- Publishing/copying as an itinerant pirate: micro-publishing, reproduction and dissemination
- Housing books: clothing and architecture in motion
- Serving and redistributing: servers and networks
- Digitising books on the move: portable scanners and other DIY reading devices
The full programme and guests list can be found here -> here: https://www.lesnouveauxhabitsducolportage.be
Participation is by registration only.
