DRAPPO CULTURE 
is looking for art books and zines to be exhibited and sold during A Bigger Book Fair in London.

We are interested in publications that embrace rawness, urgency and materiality — works that exist as physical objects. We are not looking for polished publications, but for handmade, rough, intimate or radical works produced in small editions. This open call focuses on experimental approaches to publishing, where the book becomes a space for storytelling, documentation, and installation.

A Bigger Book Fair, hosted by Peckham 24 Photo Festival, will take place from 15–17 May in London (Copeland Park).
The fair brings together independent publishers, artists and editors, offering a context for exchange, visibility and direct sales.

If selected
– You will be asked to send a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 copies of your publication
– Sales during the fair will be managed by DRAPPO CULTURE, with 100% of sales going to the artist
– After the fair, one copy will be retained by DRAPPO CULTURE to be sold online via the Drappo shop until September 2026
– All remaining unsold copies will be returned to the artist (shipping costs covered by the artist or pickup arranged in London)

How to apply
