WHAT IS SANCTUARY? HOW CAN SANCTUARY BE CREATED? HOW CAN SANCTUARY BE PROTECTED?

Press Press is an interdisciplinary publishing initiative that aims to shift and deepen the understanding of voices, identities, and narratives that have been suppressed or misrepresented by the mainstream. Through an understanding of publishing as the action of gathering a public, Press Press builds cooperative and collaborative networks of relationships using publishing practices centered in self-representation and conversation. Often focusing on the intersection of immigration, race, and power in the United States, Press Press’s streams of work have included public cultural programs and exhibitions, youth publishing workshops in immigrant- and refugee-only spaces, and the ongoing production of publications. Press Press operates out of a storefront studio and library in Baltimore, Maryland and a production space in Los Angeles, California.
