CAMP! (Creative Alternative to Mainstream Publishing) is a publishing house that amplifies marginalised voices, creating a space that encompasses shared learning and joy, with a DIY ethos. Created by Anu Ambasna and Sana Barclay in homage to radical queer and trans communities of colour who took up self-documenting to ensure that their stories were told, in their own voices. We produce everything in house, taking the for us, by us approach in everything we create.
Writing and publishing have always been about more than art and creation: getting to choose whose stories are heard and how is a deeply political act and this ethos will be at the core of CAMP! Our small press will act as a physical manifestation of this area of thought as we create spaces for ourselves, making our own CAMP!
Pagemasters is a sustainable print studio specialising in artist books, prints, and workshops. Alongside printing for others, we also publish our own titles. Annually we host a zine fair at South London Gallery and political print residency with MayDay Rooms.β£
