BULK Spring Book Launch!
Thursday, April 2nd 6-8p
Join us at BULK Space for our Spring Book Launch, an evening celebrating the release of new artist-led publications developed through collective research, storytelling, and community collaboration. This gathering brings together contributing artists, writers, and partners to share work that explores themes of health, care, food sovereignty, and cultural knowledge.
Many of the books being released were made possible through the generous support of the Priority Health Total Health Foundation, whose investment has helped expand access to critical health information through artist-driven publishing.
Thank you for reading and for your continued support <3 We can’t wait to charge into spring with you all!
With love,
