Cloudship Press

Cloudship Press is a micro-publishing collaborative formed by Tessa Zettel & Susie Nelson in 2017. Grown on Gadigal Land (Sydney, Australia), we are ongoing residents at community-run art space & library, Frontyard Projects. We make slow, handmade publications that share skills for multispecies flourishing or forms of situated knowledge in need of circulation, usually as part of expanded live art projects and relational practices off the page.
