By submitting things to the BS Shadow Library, contributors agree to share them in an open source manner. This increases access to bodies of knowledge, often kept locked behind paywalls, available only to those with the privilege of knowing where and how to look, or simply languishing on hard drives.

None of these resources will ever be sold by Beyond Social in exchange for money, though they may be printed or otherwise distributed for free whenever the archive is activated in Beyond Social's meatspace or cyberspace.

SHADOW LIBRARY V 1.0: GAP YEAR READING LIST

The Beyond Social Shadow Library launches as a component of the 2017–18 WdKA Graduation Show. Contributors were asked via email to respond to a prompt: If any of the graduating students in Social Practice should choose to take a gap year after finishing school, what material could they read? These texts, along with information uploaded by students on their graduation show works, are compiled under the title Gap Year Reading List.

The Gap Year Reading list is a collection of essays, excerpts, and other etceteras suggested by the teachers of Social Practice and other friends of WdKA. The prompt for sending in material to reading list: If any of these students should choose to do nothing for a gap year, what is the essential reading they should take with them?

The GYRL shall be made public in two ways during the 2017–18 WdKA Graduation Show (4–8 July 2018 WED–SUN).

TRUNCATED ARCHIVE: PRINT KIOSK

Each item from the GYRL will be printed a maximum of five times per day. Ethical pirates should be considerate of author rights even while they are being trespassed. Mindful usage of resources should be encouraged over surplus, manic consumerism. Anyway, according to the samizdat rule of thumb, an item can be considered published once five copies of it have been printed and distributed.

LOCATION: Stairwell to the basement of the Blaak building, by the red lockers

Warm Up (with Steganography Session by Amy Suo Wu)
4 July 2018 WED

Regular Hours
5–8 July 2018 THURS–SUN

FULL ARCHIVE: DOWNLOAD LINK

While the Print Kiosk offers excerpts identified by contributors (or entire texts, if they are of reasonable length to print on paper), the full-length publications—when they have been submitted this way or when BS Shadow Library archivists have been able to find them online—will be available for download for the duration of the graduation Show.

Download link active from 4–8 July 2018 (WED–SUN) only.

INDEX

Rather than build a rational encyclopaedic archival system, each iteration of the Shadow Library may offer its own form of organizing and presenting its contents.

All Books of Brene Brown but the one I recommend most for now is, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent and Lead. To guide us through insecure times and make the best use of our talents and gifts. Books by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but I really like her short book We Should All Be Feminist.

For the rest I’m not really good in reading books but there are a lot of inspiring people that I like and know about there work even though I might not have read them all:

Maya Angelou Alain de Botton Alan Watts Paulo Coelho
