INDIECON is a joint effort of independent magazine, book, art print, zine, newsletter, podcast and website publishers from all over the world. The three-day publishing festival is based at Hamburg’s Oberhafen, a former freight yard now creative quarter right in the city centre.
Founded in 2014, Indiecon has since developed into a regular platform for an international scene of publishers – and become an annual destination for visitors from media, arts, book trade and the creative industries. In 2024, more than 140 publishers from 60 cities in 30 countries including India, Japan, USA, Ukraine, South Korea, Peru and Taiwan will exhibit their work.
Indiecon is powered by an ever-growning community of independent publishers who participate as organizers, exhibitors, speakers or hosts for workshops and roundtables.

Labor Neunzehn is a Berlin based artist-run project engaged in a cross-disciplinary discourse on time-based-art that involves expanded cinema, modern music, publishing, and the critical reflection in media art, with a specific focus on the migration of these languages between the online and offline domains. As an independent curatorial platform and a non-profit initiative for the production of research projects, exhibitions, performances, workshops, it is committed to the presentation of collaborative outcomes and hybrid formats.

AVARIE is a Paris/Berlin based independent publisher founded in 2012 by Giuliana Prucca, specializing in contemporary art and photo books and exploring the relationship between texts and images, body and space. With thoughtful stylistic choices, accurate studies on contents and particular attention to the quality of materials, AVARIE sees books as a jamming incident in the system: a privileged space of creation that results from a close collaboration with the artist and the graphic designer, at the outskirts of commercial production.
