Press Play 2024

For our fifth edition of Press Play, we are excited to showcase over 130 artists, musicians, poets, writers, and exhibitors who defy categorization. Join us for a weekend-long fair of books, records, art, ephemera, talks, and workshops. Come for new ways of reading, listening, creating, and complaining about culture.

This year’s program is packed with unfiltered conversations and workshops. All our talks will stream live on 89.9 WKCR-FM, Columbia University’s student-run radio station. The outrageous duo behind Celebrity Book Club with Steven & Lily will join author Laura Albert to discuss her forthcoming memoir. Secret Riso Club will host a hands-on workshop with sustainable garments from Everybody.World where you’ll customize clothing with visions for an upgraded world. Lux, New York Review of Architecture, and Hell Gate will tackle a local and crucial issue: The Right to Pee. Explore the full lineup and program below.

Food and drink by Spectro, Gotham Coffee, Acqua Panna / S. Pellegrino, and Other Half brewing will be available.

Press Play is organized by Pioneer Works and is free and open to the public. A suggested donation of $20 will help sustain our program and includes a limited-edition Press Play bag designed by New York-based artist duo Shanzhai Lyric and the newest issue of Broadcast. Donate when your RSVP.

Publishing at Pioneer Works includes our imprint, Pioneer Works Press, and magazine, Pioneer Works Broadcast, the new print issue of which will debut at Press Play.
