MINIMA is also a small-scale editorial laboratory for zines, micromanuals, and other printed experiments at the intersection of ethnography, art, and design. It publishes both personal and invited projects that treat the page as a field site: a place to test methods, assemble fragments, and script new ways of knowing with the urban and more-than-human worlds.
As an imprint, MINIMA hosts prototypes more than finished products: manuals for walking and sensing, glitchy atlases, instructional posters, and small field kits that can be folded, carried, annotated, and reused. Some projects grow directly out of my own research and teaching; others emerge through collaboration with researchers, artists, designers, and collectives who want to explore what printed matter can do as an ethnographic device.
Editorial lines
Short, focused manuals that propose concrete exercises for walking, sensing, and hacking the urban. Each micromanual is a script: a set of instructions, diagrams, and prompts that can be folded, carried, and tested in situ. They privilege clarity, reuse, and adaptability.
Assemblages of materials—zines, cards, maps, posters—that work together as a small field laboratory. These kits often respond to a specific site or question (residual infrastructures, multispecies routes, chromatic decompositions) and are meant to be handled, annotated, and partially remade by their users.
Publications that accompany research projects, exhibitions, workshops, or courses. Rather than summarizing, they extend by collecting fragments, assignments, maps, and visual notes that offer alternative entry points into a topic. Companion zines are designed to travel easily between the classroom, the field, and everyday life.
A line dedicated to works by other researchers, artists, designers, and collectives. These projects experiment with manuals, instructions, and printed devices in their own idioms, while resonating with MINIMA’s concerns: urban entanglements, more-than-human worlds, and methods in the making.
