*** POSTPONED*** Join us to celebrate 50 years of Coracle Press!

UCL Special Collections 60 years of collecting small press publications and alternave presses

Coracle Press was established in Camberwell, South London, in 1975 by poet Simon Cutts as a hybrid gallery and small press publisher. For fifty years, Coracle has collaborated with a roster of artists and poets to publish a diverse output of books, ephemera, and constructed objects that explore the creative possibilities of the small press and the printed object. Coracle Press is currently based in Tipperary, Ireland, and is directed by Cutts and writer and artist Erica Van Horn.

This event will features talks, a panel discussion and Q&A, and a Coracle Press pop-up exhibition curated by Simon Cutts from the UCL Small Press Collections and John Janssen's 'Coracle & Friends' collection.

We will also be joined by UCL Special Collections' inaugural Small Press in Residence, Monitor Books.

Speakers: Simon Cutts (Coracle Press); Erica Van Horn (Coracle Press); Ross Hair (Emeritus Professor, University of East Anglia); Killian Beashel (PhD candidate, University College London); Liz Lawes (Collection Manager: Small Press Collections, UCL Special Collections); Kaya Marczewska (Rare Books and Academic Liaison Librarian, UCL Special Collections).
