partners and funding
eigenseiten was founded in 2024 as a weekly, open, and free bookbinding workshop at Resource, a cultural and community space in Neukölln.
In 2025, the project moved to Bona Peiser in Kreuzberg, continuing the weekly program while engaging with a new neighborhood and new participants.
The project has been funded by the
Berliner Projektfonds Kulturelle Bildung as follows:
In eigenseiten, bookbinding is used
as a tool for participants to build their
own platform for sharing personal and collective stories, while also expanding
access to experimental art methods.
Printing techniques are used within
this context to foster literary and
visual forms of self-expression. By making their own books, participants
are presented to self-publishing as an alternative to institutionalised publishing industries, pointing toward the creation of decentralised, independent platforms.
