Short Description
TENT is opening a new space — and something beautiful is taking shape within it. At its heart lies a bookshop, a living, breathing collection of books, zines, magazines, and creative experiments. This is not a static archive but a continuously evolving landscape, reflecting the pulse of the city, TENT’s artistic programming, and the ideas shaping our times.
TENT invites submissions of publications that connect with the themes of the upcoming exhibition “Son Don’t Rush to be Read, Sun Don’t Rush to Be Red.”
This program dwells in the twilight zone between day and night, exploring what can exist under soft light that cannot survive in the glare of the hard light.
We welcome books, zines, and printed experiments that move through ideas of slowness and stillness, poetry and vulnerability, love and intimacy, finitude and softness — works that inhabit the space between light and dark, between beginning and end.
Eligibility
Artists, writers, and independent publishers are invited to contribute and become part of this growing ecosystem of thought and creativity.
