Every two years, VSW invites a dozen people to present serious ideas about photobooks as artworks at an informal assembly we call the Photo-Bookworks Symposium.
Besides the remarkable speakers, the audience at this gathering is likely to include many people as experienced in the field as those presenting, which makes for many dynamic and informal dialogues over the two and a half day event.
The Symposium is $100, $75 with any Summer Institute workshop.
