We received an invitation from the organisers of Bangkok Art Bookfair Biennial and resonated with the fair’s theme on quiet revolution. We wanted to extend our invitation to our zine residents and host zine workshops and a pop-up library in our exhibitor table that engage in reflective repair and ‘copyleft’. The Shadow Library Manual is a love letter turned manual, edited and produced with Bri Wirakisimah. It is a manual to be deconstructed in a workshop and for the participants to add their own pages out of the zine scraps of Asia Art Archive’s Try Try Zine residents (Chen Mo, Jane Yan Yi Cheung, Jay Lau, Ning Ning, and Alice Tsang). The workshop was part of the bookfair programme Open grounds whispering in the BACC library for the weekend, that engages with a capacity of 10 participants each session.
