10 Years of Rab-Rab Press! Join us to celebrate 10 years of Rab-Rab Press, an independent publishing platform that redefines the relationship between experimental art, radical politics, and critical inquiry. Over three days, the Museum of Impossible Forms is proud to present a dedicated program featuring an exhibition, a book launch, talks, music, and a sale of books and posters.

Founded in Helsinki in 2014 by Sezgin Boynik, Rab-Rab Press has built an international reputation for its bold editorial approach and cutting edge content—combining experimental art and leftist politics with scholarly rigor and a punk ethos. Its flagship publication, Rab-Rab: Journal of Political and Formal Inquiries in Art, alongside nearly 40 books, continues to push the boundaries of publishing.
