Mobilivre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project explores the long held tradition of bookmobiles as traveling libraries that promote the distribution of information. The BOOKMOBILE travels across the United States and Canada in a vintage airstream trailer visiting a variety of communities. The annual traveling collection of approximately 300 book works range from handmade and one-of-a-kind to photocopied and small press publications.
The MOBILIVRE-BOOKMOBILE project is a community arts initiative founded by the Bookmobile collective, a diverse group of emerging North American artists and community activists. Our mandate is to fuse artistic production with political activism and community organizing. The collective consists of a fluctuating group of dedicated volunteers, coordinators, jury organizers, and tour guides. Although the project is based primarily in Montreal, QC, and Philadelphia, PA, collective members reside in various cities throughout North America.
