Workshop: Some Other (Fabric) Books
Led by Some Other Books’ publisher Kristen Mueller, participants will create unique artists’ books from salvaged fabric. Processes such as drawing, cutting, sewing, and stapling can be used to experiment with form and content. All ages are welcome to participate and will walk away with a unique fabric book. Materials will be provided.
Workshop: Collage is Collaboration: A Zine Workshop
Join this collage workshop, led by summer issue contributors Solomon Brager and charles theonia, and create your own zine. This workshop will consider zine creation in combination with collage as a form of conversation between source, material, and assembler/s.Pens, scissors, gluesticks, and paper media will be provided, and you are also welcome to bring your own materials, including ephemera, stickers, stamps, magazines to cut up, clippings from your collection, and source texts (of your own making or by others).
Conversation and Book Launch: On Education
Join writer and critical theorist Che Gossett, artist Marissa Delano, and Amant curators Patricia Margarita Hernández, Tobi Maier, and Ian Wallace for a discussion celebrating the launch of the catalog accompanying our group exhibition, On Education, on view through August 17.
The publication brings together commissioned essays and artist projects by ten contributors, including a text by Che Gossett on past forms of university mobilizing in the 1960s, early childhood photographs by Marissa Delano exploring trauma, adolescence, and memory, and an in-depth essay on the exhibition by the curators. Echoing the design of educational manuals and yearbooks, the publication invites readers to explore the aesthetic and material traces of learning, and to reflect on how schools and universities remain contested spaces—sites of oppression, resistance, and, at times, liberation—set against the current landscape of education in the US and other geographical contexts.
Copies of the publication will be available for purchase at Amant’s booth during BOMB’s Small Press Flea 2025 and at our bookstore.

Julia Govor, known as a techno producer who has her own unique and innovative sounds, has most recently been featured on Bandcamp Daily as the best electronic music producer and in a glowing review in The New Yorker that called her talent “beguiling” and “rare” and that her music “fills the mind." She is the founder and curator of the music record label JUJUKA. "She established a style that feels half Rome school, half Japanese hypnotic techno, but fully Julia Govor.”
Kamran Sadeghi is a composer, record producer, interdisciplinary artist and curator based in New York City. His work incorporates multi-channel composition, architecture, moving image, modular synthesis, custom software, and field recordings. His evolving practice mirrors the unpredictability of life itself, shaped by accumulated experience and a commitment to staying open. He has collaborated with Zimoun, Patti Smith, Ellen Allien, Nan Goldin, and Matthew Herbert, with presentations at CTM Festival, The Louvre, Berghain, Centre Pompidou, and Volksbühne. His DJ sets are textural, spatial, and rhythmically unconventional.
