This Thursday (February 26) during
@sodas2123 open studios join us for the Vilnius launch of our new publication "Abėcėlinė" (Alphabestiary).
Alphabestiary? Yes, because letters are a monstrous tool! Between fairy tales and self-invention, between traditional figures and new possible or impossible creatures, this book invites you to discover the works of artists and writers, facsimiles of historical texts, and various typographical experiments that seek to honor the liberating power of monstrosity.
Published in Lithuanian and French, inspired by the Mi-Monstre, Mi-Livre (Half Monster, Half Book) workshop during the Lithuanian season in France (2024).
Editors: Gailė Pranckūnaitė, Théo Robine-Langlois, Benjamin Thorel, Marek Voida, Justina Zubaitė-Bundzė
Authors: Ethan Assouline, Teddy Coste, Akvilė Kabašinskaitė, Prosper Mérimée, Oskaras Milašius, Théo Robine-Langlois, Anastasia Sosunova, Jurga Tumasonytė, Žemaitė.
