about astr
| astr press exists to serve those whom the traditional publishing structures of art, design, and literature have historically excluded. Specializing in zines, chapbooks, and edited volumes, astr press has produced over 9,000 copies of texts from over 50 original titles since January 2023. I design most titles and consult on all of them. I also print, bind, and distro zines across the U.S. All profits are returned to the collaborating artist. |
| Collaborating visually and textually with artists, writers, historians, community organizers, and others, I operate an independent transmedia publishing practice that tethers us to our shared pasts, presents, and futures. |
| astr (astringent) press is an experimental self-publishing project that curates and disperses narratives and histories excluded by the traditional publishing structures of art, design, and literature. astr’s transmedia publishing practice challenges traditional modes of collaboration, creation, and exhibition. acting against historical models of client/contractor, astr enables a collaborative flow where artists, writers, historians, and more act as co-authors. |
