Workshop: Publishing as Feminist Practice with Irene Revell and Sarah Shin (Silver Press)
Space is limited to 20 participants. Registration happens via this online form. (The first 20 students to sign up will be admitted.)
How can publishing function as a collective, artistic, and feminist act? How might editorial work itself become a space of experimentation and care? In this workshop, editors Irene Revell and Sarah Shin from Silver Press invite students to think through publication as a creative process and a political gesture. Together, they will discuss how to begin and sustain an editorial project or small press, how to translate artistic research into printed and digital forms, and how to build networks of collaboration that support independent publishing.
Participants are encouraged to come prepared with questions, ideas, or short proposals for editorial, curatorial, or publication projects they wish to develop. Through conversation and practical examples, the group will collectively explore how to shape ideas into publishing formats, how to find the right rhythm and readership for a project, and how to imagine editorial work as an extension of artistic practice.
The workshop will also consider the role of feminist publishing as a form of radical listening, translation, and world-making. Drawing from their recent book, Bodies of Sound: Becoming a Feminist Ear (Silver Press, 2024), Revell and Shin will discuss how publishing can hold and transmit voices, how texts and sounds move across media and generations, and how editing can be both a curatorial and political act.
About Bodies of Sound
Bodies of Sound: Becoming a Feminist Ear gathers over fifty contributions that reflect on radical listening and feminist sonic cultures. In this “book of echoes,” essays, scores, artworks, fiction, and memoir resonate across questions of gender, embodiment, translation, displacement, violence, and peace. The publication explores what it means to listen as a feminist act: to be receptive, attuned, and responsive to voices that have often been excluded from dominant sound histories.
About the guests
Irene Revell is a researcher, curator, and serial collaborator. She teaches on the MFA Curating at Goldsmiths and is Senior Lecturer in Sound Research at London College of Communication, where she co-leads the AHRC project Scoring Warnings. Her long-standing involvement with archives and collections includes work with the Her Noise Archive and Cinenova: Feminist Film and Video. Her curatorial practice often brings together sound, performance, and feminist histories, expanding how we understand listening and its institutions. With Sarah Shin, she co-edited Bodies of Sound: Becoming a Feminist Ear (Silver Press, 2024).
Sarah Shin explores dreams, myth, cosmic speculation, and transformation through writing, publishing, and curation. She is a founder of Silver Press, the feminist publisher dedicated to women writers and experimental forms, and of Spiral House, its new imprint for art, poetry, and alternative epistemologies. She is also part of Standard Deviation, a multidisciplinary collective exploring the intersections of the psychic, geometric, and inhabited worlds. Across these initiatives, Shin brings together writing, philosophy, and art as practices of shared inquiry and imagination.
This workshop offers a rare opportunity to learn from two of the most inspiring editors working in independent publishing today, and to imagine new ways of bringing ideas, voices, and communities into print.
