Hyperkitsch Publications – Miss Read

Hyperkitsch Publications

Hyperkitsch Publication's mission is to publish books that don’t ask for permission—projects that are personal, based on lived experiences, varied in culture and form, and joyfully offbeat. Rooted in artist-led practices, we collaborate with creators who travel the world, learning and sharing along the way, and then come home to share the jewels of knowledge they have found. We believe in small runs, big ideas, and the power of print as a tactile, communal experience that can change the world for the better.
