Established in 2018, iwalewabooks is a publishing house for art and discourse. Through a number of series, we dedicate our publications to questions about aesthetic social discourses, the politics of collecting and debates about archives, artistic and academic positions from the Global South.

All publications are based on the conviction that creating books is an aesthetic and collective endeavour. Many volumes are therefore produced in collaboration with research projects as well as cultural and societal initiatives. We are currently based in Bayreuth (Germany) and Johannesburg (South Africa).

Together with our partners, we offer editions of high-quality prints and graphic works that are produced especially for iwalewabooks. The proceeds of these editions directly benefit the respective book projects. We are delighted to offer artworks that were exclusively produced for iwalewabooks by artists we closely work with. The series are produced in the spirit of close cooperation and support the realisation of books and exhibitions. By buying an artwork, you acquire a unique work from a renowned contemporary artist, support the artists as well as our projects.
