accompanying a Camden Fringe 2025 performance, 'MOLD' (My One Last Destination) is curated by the artist: Salvadoran-American poet Oscar Rodriguez. the 40-minute performance ran for 3 nights at The Water Rats - an exploration of intimacy, shame, and survival through a fractured monologue that reflects on sexuality, family, and generational memory.

the accompanying book features 14 artists from around the globe covering various disciplines: woven tapestry, prose, handwritten poetry, photography and illustration to name a few. throughout there are excerpts from the original 'MOLD' script, as well as full, handwritten poetry that was featured in the performance. every submission responds to the prompt of MOLD in dynamic and thought provoking ways.

each issue is hand-bound with waxed thread and features a unique tally numbering system, to make each issue unique, in collaboration with IPG001 alumnus Jack Shaw.
