I’m Here

Monograph by Franko B designed by David Caines

London (2020)



about:

I'm Here responds to the acquisition of Franko B’s archive by the University of Bristol. The archive contains more than 30 years of material relating to performances, exhibitions, screenings, visual art, collaborations and work as a curator, lecturer and mentor.

I’m Here is a collaborative project with artist and designer David Caines and made possible by the generosity of artists, collaborators, scholars, curators, academics and friends that have contributed to my life journey and work.
