Cristina de Middel has been travelling for years with migrants on the train they call “the beast”, interviewing sicarios (hired killers), talking for hours with “coyotes” (clandestine smugglers) and police officers.
The starting point is Tapachula, the Southern border of Mexico with Guatemala, and the journey ends in Felicity, a small town in California that is the officially “Center of the World”. This epic journey is punctuated by the accounts of three migrants recounting their terrible journey and commentary by the artist.
A little girl really wants to see her
plants grow,
so she spends her days
outside, helping them.
A little watcher worries though;
anything can happen in the garden –
does the girl know what to do?
Known for her poetic engagement with urban walls, Rhea Karam transforms fragments of the city into layered visual narratives—cutting, spray painting, and overlapping textures that act as an archive of stories accumulating in the public space. Drift continues this exploration, bringing the energy of the streets into book form. Karam’s practice moves fluidly between photography, printmaking, and installation, always returning to walls as sites of dialogue—between people, architecture, and time.
GET YOUR COPY →Just Vibes, No Drama is a modern Love on the Left Bank for the TikTok generation — a sun-soaked, beer-stained love letter to six friends on a Barcelona road trip. It’s Love on La Rambla: messy nights, soft mornings, bad decisions, and fleeting romances, all caught in the glow of youth before it fades. Elliott Wilcox's love letter to youth, friendship, and the kind of romance that only happens once.
GET YOUR COPY →When Martin Parr was fourteen, his teacher wrote in a school report that he was ‘utterly lazy and inattentive’. This became the title for the biography of the photographer who went on to produce iconic shows, publish over 100 photobooks and found the Martin Parr Foundation. Martin has told many stories through his work addressing many different subjects, but this is the first and only time that he’ll tell his own. This unique publication presents a combination of stories and photographs from across Martin’s life and eclectic career. Created in collaboration with the writer, Wendy Jones, this autobiography is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he has documented relentlessly since childhood.
GET YOUR COPY →This is a book about books, about the subversive power of reading and the strange, enduring magic of books as objects. As Ian Patterson constructs the last of many libraries, he makes an impassioned case for the radical importance of reading in our lives - from Proust to Jilly Cooper, from golden-age detective novels to avant-garde poetry.
Wise, irreverent and exhilaratingly wide-ranging, Books - A Manifesto reminds us that poems know things that we might not yet know ourselves, urges us to seek out the puzzles alive in the art of translation and celebrates the singular elasticity of the 'bookshop minute'. But even more than this, the book insists on reading not as a luxury but a necessary part of reality: we live within language, and when we think, it's with the tools that reading gives us.
