Amanda

Amanda is an artist book in form of a periodical, edited by Olga Micińska and published by Maria Editions, an artist-led imprint based between Nicosia and New York.

The publication is produced in the framework of The Building Institute, an experimental platform aiming to strengthen the position of femmes builders in the domain of technical construction work. Amanda brings together literary texts by Maria Toumazou, Samantha McCulloch, Sepideh Karami and Madeleine Morley, combining fiction stories with visual artwork. Contributions from artists, writers and researchers concern the subjects of labour, technology, craft and movements of emancipation. Amanda is greatly informed by Tradeswomen, a magazine published in the 1980's and 1990's in the United States, made for and by female workers active in the building trade.
