Each edition focuses on a different kind of ‘other book’. The first edition of The Other Book (29 November – 1 December 2019) is devoted to the Riso revolution: artists’ books produced with Risograph and Mimeograph stencil duplicators.

The Grafische Werkplaats is a festivallocation and has an active programme: a special exhibition Wobby Wall (seen untill 10 Feb 2020) and different workshops.
