The YslandBook is not a publication.
It is a condensation a co-created Book.
Not a must an invitation.
A process
A friction.
A place where Schmiede’s annual theme is stretched, questioned, rewritten.
The end result is a published book.
The YslandBook is not a closed circle.
The YslandBook is open for contributions from all over the world.
AkademieAIR is a frame where we can offer a small supportive fee for your engagement.
