about us

iwalewabooks

is a publishing house for art and discourse.

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 endeavour. Many volumes are therefore produced in collaboration with research projects as well as cultural and societal initiatives.

Our Series

The series art presents monographs of contemporary artists whose aesthetic practises spark societal discourses. One focus is on perspectives from the Global South.

In the series discourse, our authors engender musings about the future(s) and reflect on recent debates within the fields of aesthetics, society, the arts and politics.

Critical engagements with not only museum collections, but also with art and academic archives are presented through the series collections.

The series scholar publishes academic texts, such as master’s and doctoral theses, as well as re-editions of older texts, primarily by authors from the Global South.

The series Iwalewahaus is dedicated to publishing texts that are developed during projects at the Iwalewahaus, University of Bayreuth,

In addition, we publish out-of-band, a series of smaller books, such as manifestos and artist’s books, in collectable, limited editions.

Together with our partners, we offer editions of high-quality prints and graphic works that are produced especially for iwalewabooks. The proceeds of these editions directly benefit the respective book projects.
