Our March 2023 grantee, Errant Press is an independent effort to create, print, and distribute books that challenge the traditional form and reading dynamics. Instead of bringing art into the book form, they try to free words from the codex form. Errant Press creates books meant to be read collaboratively, adopts conceptual practices, and challenges the book form using different objects as containers for texts. They also work with book artists from Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Mexico in an effort to amplify their voices and reach broader audiences.
