Bookstore Democracy: Independence & Sustainability Are Not Enough

What (MORE) can a bookstore do? - A question we must constantly propose.
Bungee Space is an image study- and image criticism-focused art book store, which also sells coffee, wearable designs, and works as an artist-run space & publisher. Rooting in where we come from, our ways of working, and means to survive, we simultaneously try to pursue independence and sustainability to provide a valuable space for emerging contributors to our art ecology. Standing beyond conventional definition of a bookstore, we involve, form, and transform community, intervene social, political, and cultural lives, creating chaos.
This panel cannot offer any ultimate answer, but only some brief, amusing cases -
they are about experiment, process, and becoming.
