Join us at Arnolfini Bookshop for the launch of Red Utopias, the latest project from Essarter Editions.

Red Utopias is a trilogy of books that bring together the photographs and texts of a dozen European authors and photographers around the theme of political utopias in Europe in a post post-soviet era.

These books aim to allude to the portrayal of the political utopia by those directly affected by communism after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union.

This is being achieved by exploring 3 main topics: the collective memory, the spaces and the People.

Artists include: Karol Palka, Arthur Bondar, Marylise Vigneau, Olessia Venediktova, Larisa Pelle, Claire Laude, Maxim Sarychau, Alexander Ermochenko, Florian Tonnon and Christopher Nunn.

Join us at Arnolfini Bookshop on February 7th, from 6pm when the Author and Photographer Marylise Vigneau will be with us to sign copies.
