Summary: Turkish Wrestling Association of Berlin.

Although wrestling is a martial art that does not involve striking one another, it nonetheless forces opponents to engage in close physical contact with each other. Originally founded exclusively for Turkish wrestling enthusiasts in 1981, the club has long adapted to the multicultural setting of Kreuzberg and now includes Turks, Germans, Russians, Chechnyans, Bulgarians, Romanians, Azerbaijanis and Armenians among its members. Here, people from various nationalities enter into a dialogue through sports, competing in a discipline whose rules provide a basis for social interaction.

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
