Organised by the Paris Ass Book Fair and Kanal-Centre Pompidou, the Brussels Ass Book Fair is dedicated to independent art publishing and will host some 70 exhibitors from Belgium and abroad, complimented by a public programme of live events, music, talks, and some very special interventions. The fair gives prominent space to LGBTQIA+ participants and projects, and brings together creators, authors, enthusiasts, and collectives to present books, fanzines, and editions that challenge mainstream norms. Its mission is clear: to contribute with joy and humor to making our society fairer and more inclusive.

For its third edition, the Brussels Ass Book Fair is relocating to the newly opened Kanal-Centre Pompidou. This year, the fair will take place in Hall 1 of the new museum, which offers more exhibition room and a better visitor experience.
