ReIssue: art and criticism in
the cosmos of cultural production

Year 2 Anthology Launch at Small Press Fest

Our Year 2 Anthology launches in Victoria, BC, as a part of Small Press Fest! In celebration of printed matter, independent publishing and art writing, Open Space’s 2023 Small Press Fest will host local and regional independent art publishers, a panel discussion on arts publishing, and our publication launch.

Join us, Saturday September 16 at 4:30pm, where ReIssue editor Casey Wei, DYKE NEWS founder (and former ReIssue Assistant Editor) Kara Stanton, and writer Kim Dhillon discuss their experiences with arts publishing, moderated by Dani Neira. This panel will be followed by our Victoria launch of our Year 2 Anthology! Stay for drinks, snacks, and music by DJ Paisley Eva.

Dani Neira (they/them) is a curator, writer, and artist. They are a second-generation settler of mixed Colombian ancestry living and working on Lekwungen land/Victoria, BC. Rooted in queer theory and informed by strategies of collaboration, their interdisciplinary practice explores memory, language, materiality, and space as sites of affect and generative failure.

Dani holds a BA in Art History and Visual Studies from the University of Victoria and is the co-founder of the collaborative curatorial project Dirty Dishes Collective. They are currently a Program Coordinator at Open Space and have worked in a variety of curatorial and administrative roles within artist-run centres and DIY initiatives.
