Bridge Books strives to create a space for challenging, critiquing, and fostering new futures for cultural production within and outside of museums.
Fwd: Museums Journal is produced and edited by students at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Its home is UIC's Museum and Exhibition Studies Program and it is published by Chicago-based StepSister Press, an imprint of Bridge Books.
Hurm Editions seeks to fill a void in the current international publishing landscape. In a culture increasingly sanitized by the infringements on art of corporate norms as community standards, that helps fosters a culture of mass shootings by refusing to depict the aftermaths of our national obsession with gun violence, and that claims to celebrate sexual identity while outlawing any depictions whatsoever of sex or eroticism, Hurm Editions seeks to support work that challenges convention, pushes boundaries, and that revels in the grotesque, incoherent, offensive and obscene.
StepSister Press, an independent publishing company founded by Annie Heckman in 2007 to promote conversation on emerging art, literature, educational, and critical theory projects, became an imprint of Bridge Books in 2022. Originally based in Chicago, and now based nearby in Park Ridge, Illinois, the press coordinates projects and collaborations with artists and writers around the world.
