About

Rediscover Virginia Woolf as a radical printer, publisher and maker through the Hogarth Press, a site of hands-on experimentation and creative independence.

Founded in 1917 from Woolf's living room as an indie printing venture, the press blurred boundaries between art, craft and literature, treating the book itself as an art object. Bringing together hand-printed books, illustrated editions and works conceived through close collaboration between writers and artists, the exhibition reframes publishing as a creative practice shaped by intimacy, courage and control over one's own voice.

Seen today, the Hogarth Press offers a powerful model of how ideas can be shaped, shared and circulated outside traditional structures. Exhibition created in partnership with the Gordon Square Society, Antwerp.
