iwalewabooks
iwalewabooks is a publishing house for art, discourse and archives. Through a number of series, we dedicate our publications to questions about:
- aesthetic social discourses
- the politics of collecting and debates about archives
- artistic and academic positions from the Global South
All publications are based on the conviction that creating books is an aesthetic and collective endeavor. Many volumes are produced in collaboration with research projects as well as cultural and societal initiatives.
We are currently based in Frankfurt (Germany), Lagos (Nigeria) and Johannesburg (South Africa).
