La St PACÔME cherche à mettre en avant la micro édition en matière de bande dessinée et livres illustrés, et crée des ponts entre les régions. La micro-édition est présente partout en France sous des formes très variées (fanzine, graphzine, livres-objets, etc) et représente un vivier créatif hors pair. Plus qu’un mouvement revendicatif, la micro édition est une manière de faire de l’édition simplement, ré-inventant sans cesse les possibilités du domaine de l’édition.
Cette année, la St Pacôme se concentrera sur les structures strasbourgeoises, afin que les visiteurs se rendent compte de la variété et de la richesse de ce qui se fait en micro édition locales.
Venez donc découvrir en notre compagnie le monde de la MICRO-ÉDITION.
——————–

Le secteur édition de l’INSTITUT PACÔME est une structure très modeste qui ne permet pas la création d’un «Gros festival». D’autres s’en chargent déjà. Contentons nous d’un modeste «Petit Salon». Infos également sur le site du collectif troglodyte : www.troglodyte.eu ——————–

St PACÔME seeks to propose to it micro edition as regards comic strip and illustrated books, and creates bridges between the areas. The desktop publishing is present everywhere in France in very varied forms (fanzine, graphzine, book-objects, etc) and represents a creative fish pond except par. More than one protest movement, it micro edition is a manner of making edition simply, unceasingly reinventing the possibilities of the field of the edition. This year, St Pacôme will concentrate on the structures of Strasbourg, so that the visitors realize of the variety and the richness of what is done in micro edition local. Thus come to discover in our company the world of the DESKTOP PUBLISHING.
The sector edition of INSTITUTE PACÔME is a very modest structure which does not allow the creation of a “Large festival”. Others take care some already. Let us satisfy with modest “a Small Living room”. Infos also on the site of the collective troglodyte:
