The North’s biggest and boldest annual event for arts publishing returns to the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, from 25-26 October 2025.

This year Bound welcomes over 90 artist publishers, collectives and small presses to share their work alongside a free public programme of talks and events focusing on ideas of gathering and congregation. Our free public programme explores the critical and creative capacities of dancing, altered states, collaboration and collective joy, from raves to LAN parties, sacred rituals to mosh pits, high school proms to UFO clubs.
