2026 Challenge Book Exhibit
For the 16th FOBA Conference Challenge Book we asked artists to explore the theme of “re:book.”
re:book
re:visit | re:imagine | re:engage
An invitation to reflect on the importance of books, both as physical objects and as vessels for stories, knowledge, and connection.
An encouragement to re:visit, re:imagine, and re:engage with the idea of books in the ever-evolving world of the book arts.
Also sustainable, green, renewable, and enduring.
