''This event is only for participants of the Summer Camp 2026 and not open to the public, want to join us: check the [[HDSC2026 Clouds to Commons Public Program]]''


In this workshop, we’ll write multiple collective letters, diving into our various relationships to publishing.

Dear publishing, dear writing, dear bookmaking… 

We will tell you about the hopes and wonders that you bring to us, about the frictions we have with you, about the journeys we took with you. Listen to us while we write and read through our affects. Witness us while we immerse ourselves in our collective stories. While we discover shared currents, diverging ripples, and unknown depths.

Yours truly, the H&D summer camp participants

PS: Bring a laptop! We’ll use an online pad for collective writing.

'''Bio:'''
Mio Kojima (they/them) is a Berlin-based German-Japanese design educator, editor/publisher, and curator. Drawing from queer intersectional feminist pedagogy and self-organized methodology, Mio critically examines the conditions and formats of learning and coming together, asking which experiences are valued and who gets to be present. Their research and teaching practice often centers on process documentation of self-organized structures, prompts to evoke (somatic) experience, and critical interventions to discuss the politics of collaboration and space-making and expand hegemonic ways of doing. Alongside Maya Ober, Mio is running Futuress, an intersectional feminist publisher and online platform at the crossroads of design and social justice.
