When everyone is librarian, library is everywhere.
- Why and How to Be(come) an Amateur Librarian, Marcell Mars
In the 1990s, activist, independent scholar, and artist Marcell Mars founded Memory of the World / Public Library amidst the ruins of the former Yugoslavia, with the aim of resisting the privatization of knowledge and encouraging everyone to freely share books online.
B09k’s poster work is a re-enactment of Mars’s Public Library manifesto, “When everyone is a librarian, the library is everywhere,” inviting everyone to participate and become part of the world’s memory.
