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