A publishing collective formed by three women living between the Netherlands and the Chinese speaking world.


Cactus Press develops a hybrid practice that connects print media, sound, moving image,exhibition-making, and participatory performance. We are drawn to gestures of resistance that grow out of dryness and silence. For us, publishing is an attempt to speak again across different soils—a process of interpenetration and exchange that turns each book into a living hypertext. Each publication becomes a node that links to other forms and contexts, generating new relations that keep the practice open, porous, and alive.
