Meet the full Hybrid Design team and stay for a casual Q&A with founder Dora Drimalas, with the opportunity to ask questions about the book, design practice, and Hybrid’s approach.

Enjoy light drinks and snacks, purchase the book in your choice of color, have it signed by founders Dora Drimalas and Brian Flynn alongside members of the Hybrid team, and enter a raffle for signed copies and Hybrid goody bags.

The event coincides with programming across the Minnesota Street Project. Guests are also invited to explore ATRIUM, a new alternative art fair hosted in the same building, making it easy to experience multiple exhibitions and events in one visit.

If this year has taught us anything as a small business, it’s the resilience and empathy of the book community. Gingko Press has had the honor of being in business for 30 years, thanks largely in part to the independent bookstores who work so hard to get our titles into customers’ hands.

In celebration of Independent Bookstore Day 2020, we’ve compiled a list of amazing indies located across the country. While many stores remain closed for public browsing and cannot fully participate in IBD as in previous years, we’ve been inspired by the ingenious ways these stores are still servicing their patrons through online ordering and virtual events. Please show your support by shopping locally and sending love to your community bookstores, today and every day!

Thank you to all the employees and loyal customers of these establishments. We wouldn’t be where we are today without your support.

moki is a Berlin based artist that has published two books with Gingko, How to Disappear in 2010 and Shelter in 2017. Her latest book with the author Rae Mariz about rare fur-covered mammals was just nominated by STIFTUNG BUCHKUNST for one of the best German books of 2020. Her latest comic novel SUMPFLAND is traveling around the world with exhibitions in Germany, Iceland and Austria, supported by Goethe-Institut.

How are you spending this time? Are you creating art “as usual,” or is there a variance to your routine?

right now i’m working on new paintings for my next book with gingko press. it helps at lot during these times to have something to look forward to. i share homeschooling with my partner. it is very satisfying to spend more time with my 9 year old daughter. as a child of artist parents she is continuously coming up with ideas of what to do. we have being sewing a lot of creatures, building a wooden tree house for them and drawing many books 🙂

Portrait from moki’s 2010 publication How to Disappear

What’s been the biggest challenge for you, and how are you handling it?
i miss my family and friends – the physical distance is hard to bear! i try to look forward to times when i can meet them again.

What advice would you give to anyone struggling to create right now?
new structures can give you a different view and therefore be enriching. the pressure of creating something can take away the joy of it. so i would try to relax and value the new perspectives if possible.

Do you have any advice for someone looking to optimize their space at home for a good work/play balance?
i love plants – so i would get some big leaved new friends 🙂

How can people support the arts community during this time?
since everyone is struggling i would show my solidarity with attention and if possible a little support.
there are also ideas about structural change by unconditional basic income or negative interest rates.

What do you hope people take away from all this? Do you think the arts community will look different as we transition back to “normal”?
i’m thinking mostly of the people working only in bigger groups and can’t continue like me in the studio – musicians for example. if the clubs have to close it will be hard for these places to open again.
this crisis can be a new start too! as a lover of nature i’m pleased with the positive effects on climate change and hopefully a structural systematic change that could sprout from this challenge. i want to live a modest and humble life. i travel in my thoughts. i repair my clothes and things with joy. i use all kinds of material i find in the streets of berlin for working. i try to be kind to myself so i can give tender loving care to my surrounding.

Ennio Morricone, also known as the Maestro, passed on July 6th, 2020 at the age of 91.

In the public’s imagination, film scores are of course the most prominent creations from Morricone’s vast output. He’s best known for the innovative and over-the-top scores he created for Sergio Leone’s mid-60s Spaghetti Westerns. He became closely identified with the music that first brought his work to public awareness for “A Fistful of Dollars.” Later, in response to a question about why this film and music made such an impact, he said: “I don’t know. It’s the worst film Leone made and the worst score I did.”

His reputation as a legendary talent was not unfounded, however. In fact, many people would be surprised to find out that Morricone’s 100s of films scores were only one part of his vast oeuvre. He composed operas, piano concertos, 40 symphonic pieces, and avant garde works with John Zorn. He finally received an academy award in 2015 for “Best Original Score” for Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight.” Tarantino had been courting Morricone to create an original score for one of his movies for years, and it’s fitting that the Maestro finally capitulated toward the end of his long and storied career.

This interview was originally printed in France by Reggae Vibes Magazine for Issue # 70, in circulation Apr-July 2020. It has been translated from French to English. You can order a copy of Rockers: The Making of Reggae’s Most Iconic Film on gingkopress.com.

Can you tell us more about this book, Rockers? Is it a simple autobiography, a photography coffee table book, a making-of of the film Rockers, or?

Sébastien Carayol: It’s a bit of all of this in one book! Besides his talents as a director which earned Rockers a screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 1979, Ted Bafaloukos was also an excellent photographer. Some of his shots taken in Jamaica appeared sporadically on record sleeves: Yabby You, Augustus Pablo, etc. And then, over the course of a decade a few books started to appear. Two or three self-published Rockers books, in Japan, with crazy formats (a very large and flat one, then another edition almost pocket-sized and very thick), featuring his photos of the film and other behind the scenes photos of Rockers… I was intrigued. I finally got to meet, a few years later, the person behind these books: Cherry Kaoru Hulsey, the NYC resident Japanese widow of film producer Patrick Hulsey who has all his photos, and their rights.

I found out from her that before he died, Ted Bafaloukos wrote an autobiographical text, a memoir spanning from his childhood raising goats in Greece, up to New York where he discovered reggae when it was very underground – his first show was an Augustus Pablo concert in Brooklyn that was interrupted with gunshots! – before he decided to go make a documentary in Jamaica… It turned out a fictional piece: Rockers. His autobiography tells everything, the good the bad and the ugly: pressure from guys in the kingston ghetto, how Ted he got kicked out of Jamaica by the government during his first visit etc… I’ll say no more!

Several authors are mentioned by the publishing house for this project. What was your role?

S. C.: It’s a bit of a hybrid. The publisher has me credited as “fire bringer” in the summary… Basically, Bafaloukos’ bio was so well written that I shared all of this with the American publisher Gingko Press, with whom I released a book in 2014. They later signed the project. I also chose the art director, suggested cover, etc. You could then define me as matchmaker, I suppose. But the real flames that really got the pot boiling, initially, are Ted’s widow Eugenie Bafaloukos and Cherry Hulsey, who had self-published the Rockers books together in Japan. I just put everybody together and made sure that the ideal book would come out.

This work will be published soon in English, do you think a French translated version could see the day?

S. C.: This bio from Bafaloukos deserves it! Especially since today there are several quality publishers in France, specializing in Jamaican music…

How old were you when you were discovered Rockers on a screen for the first time?

S. C.: Sounds a bit late to the game, I was twenty years old. With a friend from Narbonne, Claude Damas, we were stuck on the scene where Jacob Miller gets all upset from Horsemouth stealing a piece of chicken from him!

What scene did you enjoy the most in this film?

S. C.: There are two very strong ones for me: Burning Spear singing Jah No Dead a cappella on the beach, with Horsemouth listening attentively… I get chills every time, and even more when Ted tells the story behind the scenes in the book! And, on a lighter note, of course the nightclub scene when Horsemouth and Dirty Harry hijack the disco DJ booth to play The Techniques’ “Queen Majesty” instead: “Remove ya!”

Why do you think this film is considered a benchmark for a lot of reggae lovers?

S.C.: Because Bafaloukos really found out how to capture this golden age of sorts – the Jamaican music scene of the 70s. It’s really a fiction that doubles as has a documentary.

Unlike rap or rock culture, that of reggae is weakly represented on the big screen through fictional films. Do you have any idea what could explain this?

S. C.: The fact that the global cinema industry is centered in the United States can explain this unbalance. The few fictional films that do come out of Jamaica find it difficult to find distributors, I think.

Do you have some titles to us advise (except documentary films)?

S. C.: So there’s one I love, which I showed a very small part of in my 2017 exhibition Jamaica, Jamaica!: it is called REW/FFWD, an amazing film object, both an artistic film as well as documentary fiction, which tells the story of a Canadian journalist sent to Jamaica, when his car breaks down in the middle of Trenchtown – forcing him to meet the real people of the ghetto. It is a small bizarre masterpiece… all the more intriguing, it was directed by Denis Villeneuve, who is now a very well-known to science fiction filmmaker (he made First Contact, etc.).

You dedicate part of your life to share with as many people as possible your passion for reggae (journalist specialist, film and books, curator…) Can you already tell us what will be your next reggae stamped project?

S.C.: Right now, I am living through a bit of a dream: my Jamaica Jamaica! exhibition is currently mounted in Kingston, in Jamaica’s largest National musuem, the National Gallery of Jamaica, until June 28, 2020. [Editor’s note: It will be extended to December 2020 due to Covid pandemic] Go deh!

James & Karla Murray are the photographers behind numerous Gingko releases, their latest being Store Front II – Mini Edition. You can view their work on jamesandkarlamurray.com and Instagram. James & Karla have also been filming their walks in New York City in an effort to highlight small, independently-owned businesses who could use help during this time. You can watch their videos on their YouTube channel.

How are you spending this time? Are you creating art “as usual,” or is there a variance to your routine?

We have been extremely busy during the lockdown in New York City, continuing to document the small unique independently-owned businesses and trying to help raise awareness of their necessity as they truly are the lifeblood of the various neighborhoods of New York City and they are struggling now more than ever to survive. We can’t think of a better way as a New Yorker to come together during this difficult time. If anything we have been photographing and creating videos for our JamesandKarla YouTube channel even more than we ever did before as we really feel its a race against time to document the places we love.

What’s been the biggest challenge for you, and how are you handling it?

The biggest challenge as an eyeglass wearer is to try to NOT have our glasses fog up while wearing a face mask outside!

What advice would you give to anyone struggling to create right now?

Our best advice is to stay positive and keep creating what you love!

Do you have any advice for someone looking to optimize their space at home for a good work/play balance?

Since we have always worked from our home small studio apartment, the best advice we have is to try to keep it uncluttered as possible and give your dog plenty of room for “zoomies”!

How can people support the arts community during this time?

People can support artists by buying artwork from them. We are currently offering limited edition prints of many of our photographs as a way to earn money especially since our work as architectural and interior photographers has been put on indefinite hold.

What do you hope people take away from all this? Do you think the arts community will look different as we transition back to “normal”?

We hope that our work will bring awareness to the unique character small mom-and-pop businesses add to the streets and neighborhoods of New York City and the sense of community they provide. These storefronts have the city’s history etched into their facades. We also hope that viewers will frequent small businesses so that they will continue to survive for many more years.

Sadly we do think the arts community will look different as so many cultural institutions and arts-related non-profits are struggling to stay afloat as their doors are closed to visitors and even when they reopen, they most likely will only be able to accommodate a limited capacity of visitors.. They will need to find ways to reach large audiences virtually.
