Microsiphon — Festival of Micro-Publishing

Microsiphon #9 — October 3rd to 5th, 2025

The 9th edition of the Microsiphon Festival took place from October 3rd to 5th, 2025, at MOTOCO, with a poster designed by Caroline Sury and the DMC thread as the visual theme — a nod to the location's textile past.

The micro-publishing fair brought together about forty exhibitors, including Atelier Scarole, Camille Bertagna, Divine Sauvage, Fleshstone, Les Sœurs Siamoises, Lisa Mazoyer, and L'imprim(&)rie. The workshops offered doll making (Odette Picaud), mask making (Caroline Sury), and discovery of traditional instruments with the Orquesta Experimental.

The music program featured Maria Violenza (post-punk-arabo-electro, Italy), Heimat (ethno-post-new-wave, France), and Annie-Claude Deschênes (quirky electro, Canada) on Saturday evening, followed on Sunday by a free outdoor concert by the Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (Bolivia).
