Biquini Wax launches its first pop-up: Biquini Wookshop. With “books” by Zyan Arellano, Irak Morales, Gerardo Contreras, Mili Herrera, Adolfo Cisneros Medina, dianx cantarey, Gustavo A. Cruz Cerna, denisse vega de santiago, Odeth Sofía, Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba and Urmeer.

As an economic and community experiment, aligned with our interest in studying Lumbung Practices through the cross-eyed gaze of baroque economies, what better way than to propose a homemade, baroque, informal, and overflowing book business model? Biquini Wookshop rethinks books as merchandise, publication as a form of exhibition, performance and the book-commodity as a sub-critical fetish. The BWookshop hosts, converges, stages, and spatially engages with the printing station of the Printing and Publishing working group from damdam at M4, our shared home in Amsterdam with damdam collective dash. Join us for performance, collective writing, zine making, face painting, drawing happenings, surprise events and artists, immaterial and material merch, and more.

The Printing and Publishing working group will activate the M4 residency space at Tetterode into a DIY printing station, hosting guests and friends for independent and collective self-publishing. The Printing and Publishing station contains a library with contributions by members of damdam and their broader ecosystem. This includes DIY publications by SPIN, Papaya Kuir, material and immaterial merch by Biquini Wax, and The Print Bike by Kasi Graphic.
