How can art libraries be generative resources and sites of action for all who identify as queer
as women as Black as Indigenous as people of colour? What does it mean to consider the art
library as a collective practice that spans multiple scales? In shelf documents artists
writers curators teachers and librarians reflect on their engagements with books libraries
and art-library-as-practice. Between a reader an artist's book a project documentation and a
catalogue shelf documents might recall a pamphlet a roadmap or a recipe book that doesn't
tell you what to do. It is a book that gets mis-shelved.
