Little Book Project

The Bubbler teamed up with the Little Book Project to bring you Edition 7: Collaboration. Together we captured a snapshot into the multifaceted collaboration happening throughout the Our Town Everywhere (OTE) project (2022-24). Collaboration features the team of artists and community members from all corners of Madison, Wisconsin, participating in the creation and collection of self portraits.

The Our Town Everywhere project helps us notice the commonalities we all share as well as the components that make us unique. As public libraries create endless opportunities for belonging, connection, and resource-sharing, this project allows us the tools and space to visually express the story of who we are and how we are in community with one another currently.

This special edition of the Little Book Project was released November 2023. While the small run was mainly distributed to artists and partners connected to the Our Town Everywhere project, there is an accessible copy of it in the Local History Collection at Madison Public Library.

Special thanks to: Rita Salm (OTE Design), M Rose Sweetnam (OTE Exhibitions Lead), Christine Holm (Little Book Project Design Support), Carlee Latimer (Bubbler Collaborator), Emily Julka (Little Book Project Risograph Printer), and Rachel Werner (Little Book Project Creative Director).

May the portraits and those who create them continue to spark joy and find meaningful connection.
