✶ /AUTONOMOS SEMIOTIC ZONE/ [/A•S•Z/] ✶ Becoming Press is celebrating our tenth book with an appearance in the city of Venice. We're teaming up with Inactual Magazine and Bruno books to host a total of 4 micro-events between 11–15 September 2025.

We'll be joined by multiple authors from the Becoming Press literary universe, including presentations of our three most recent publications, Exocapitalism (2025), Multiplication of Organs Manifesto (2025), and Unconscious/Television (2025) by their respective authors, Marek Poliks & Roberto Alonso Trillo, Christian Nirvana Damato, and Lucas Ferraço Nassif.

We will also be joined by Alessandro Sbordoni, the author of our sixth book Semiotics of the End (2024), and we will be presenting some prepared audio materials from MeltdownYourBooks, the author of both our third book, Where Does a Body Begin? (2023), and our upcoming, eleventh book, Empires Over Skin (2025).

✶/More TBA/✶ We are setting up this RSVP for several reasons. Firstly because the locations of each event are going to be disclosed via e-mail—we'll explain why on the day! There will be 1 to 3 dialogues on each of the four days, followed by an open invitation to some local bacaro. If anyone has a bright idea for Sunday 14th—let us know.
