Abstract
This artistic research conceptualizes publication as a process rather than an outcome. Drawing on artistic practice and activism, it explores the collective, social, and political agency of publishing from an intersectional trans*feminist perspective. Using collaborative, practice-based methodologies, the project examines the radical and emancipatory potential of process-oriented approaches over outcome-based ones. Addressing a critical gap in existing discourse and practice, it shifts focus from the political content of publications to the transformative agency of the processes themselves—how publications are created (authored, edited, printed, bound), shared (circulated, described, catalogued), and reused (read, given meaning). This focus on process-based collective knowledge practices also engages with the coercive reciprocity between authorship, authorisation, and authority.
