Book Launch: Laura U. Marks' 'The Fold'

Join us on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 for the launch of Small File co-founder Laura U. Marks’ new book “The Fold: From Your Body to the Cosmos”. Published by Duke University Press, The Fold offers a practical philosophy and aesthetic theory for living in an infinitely folded cosmos. With movies, funny diagrams, storytelling, self-care tips, soul-assemblages and other concepts, and sandwiches.

The event takes place at the Djavad Mowafaghian World Art Centre (149 West Hastings St, Vancouver) from 5:00pm - 7:00pm. The evening will feature a brief reading, a cash bar, and maybe dancing. Check the link in our bio for more details.⁣
