The story

Bangkok Art Book Fair in Bangkok

Bangkok Art Book Fair is a biennial meeting place for artist books, zines, independent publishing and experimental print. The fair combines exhibitor tables with launches, reading groups, installations, workshops and publishing discussions, making it as useful for makers and design students as for serious collectors.

A table at Bangkok Art Book Fair may hold a hand-stitched diary, a risograph comic, a photographer's numbered edition and a political pamphlet that exists nowhere else.

The city starts moving

The 2025 edition gathered 126 exhibitors from 25 countries at BACC, then extended beyond sales tables through three installations, 25 maker-led Open Ground activities and a specialist symposium
