Join the Libby Leshgold Gallery for the launch of the 4th AK magazine + mixtape hosted by READ Books and Publication Studio Vancouver (PSV). This is the first of the series of launches, workshops, public talks and events occurring during the current exhibition, It's difficult to put a painting in the mailbox: Toward new models of artists' publishing.

AK is a bi-annual publication by agonyklub, founded in 2016 by Casey Wei. Without the restriction of a thematic, the contributors speak to each other organically, through the process of editing and layout. AK features an assortment of content by writers, artists, and musicians, ranging from fiction, poetry, visual art, comics, essays, and various other ephemera that fall into the web of the popular-esoteric. AK04 includes works by Gabi Dao, Hello, Blue Roses, Valsi, Steffanie Ling, Jacquelyn Ross, Scott Lewis, Maiko Jinushi, Jessica Yeandle-Hignell, and more.

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
