Reading Room by Bootleg Griot

Settle into the communal lounge of the Focal Point Printing Press and browse through selections from a curated library by Bootleg Griot. These art books and other publications capture a range of ideas and practices that exist within the community of artists and collectives from Africa, Asia and its diaspora. 

About Bootleg Griot:

Bootleg Griot is an independent public library project dedicated to improving the accessibility of literature and other forms of African print media in our community. The project operates as a series of pop-up installations that reimagine the dynamics, format and function of a modern public library.
