To celebrate the launch of .able, from March 23 to 29, 2023, a week of activities is being held. Online events and in-person meetings in France and Spain will be offered in French, English, and Spanish for a first introduction to .able and its network. A week to discover radically new forms of publications, accessible through images and through a distributed system: on .able web platform, on social media, and in print.
IMPORTANT : Opening night at École des Arts Décoratifs is being postponed
Due to the current social and political context in France, the on-site launch of .able journal is being postponed. We will let you know the new date as soon as possible.
The launch of the online platform will go ahead on March 23, as will the week of launch events.
Thank you for your understanding.

meeting-debate
PARIS > Galerie VU’, 58 rue Saint-Lazare, 75009 Paris (reservation required)
At Galerie VU’, Jean-Robert Dantou, photographer, and Florence Weber, sociologist and anthropologist present “Tenir,” a visual essay developed in collaboration with graphic designer Ninon Bonzom for .able journal, created around portraits of inhabitants of the city of Tonnerre (Yonne department). Revealed within these portraits is a mise en abyme of the relational dimension of the photographic act and an evocation of the strategies developed by some as ways to “hold on” in particularly fragile economic, social, and moral circumstances. The presentation of this project is also an opportunity for a broader discussion on the challenges of image-based publishing, as proposed by the .able journal.
