PhotoIreland is delighted to take part in this year’s International Literature Festival Dublin with a talk exploring artbooks and photobooks as objects of artistic output and cultural value.

Visitors will be introduced to many examples of artbooks, ranging from zines to photobooks, to design books, and more, drawn from PhotoIreland’s unique artbook library and Ireland’s only dedicated art bookshop, The Library Project.

Join us as we present how books can function not only as documentation or catalogues, but as spaces for experimentation, storytelling, and artistic output in their own right.

A selection of artbooks will be available for purchase at the event.

The event is free, but booking is required
