A collage of museum objects fills the background, including a large penny-farthing bicycle, a wooden mechanical apparatus, historic vehicles, a steam locomotive, a close-up of turbine blades, and a brass navigational instrument. The words “SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP” appear in large white capital letters across the centre of the image. In the upper right corner, a white panel displays the date “14 Oct 26”.

We're particularly proud to feature original Spanish and Portuguese language versions of chapters by the Indigenous artists and writers in both the print and online editions of Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity (thanks to @senatehouselib.bsky.social's Publishing Trust Fund for this)

Many thanks to @acls1919.bsky.social and Arcadia for the award money from the ACLS/Arcadia OA Book Awards in 2024, which covered the publishing costs of Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity 🏆 @rmounce.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy

Artificial Intelligence, Art and Indigeneity (edited by @theapitman.bsky.social, Sandra De Berduccy and Andreas Rauh) is a timely intervention on the cultural and ethical implications of generative AI through the lens of Indigenous visual culture in Latin America

@uolpress.bsky.social

Literature for Change (edited by the series editors Charles Burdett, @drjoeford.bsky.social, Godela Weiss-Sussex and @naswells.bsky.social) makes a compelling case for why literature - and literature in other languages - matters, and its transformative real-world impact on society 🌍📖

"The symposium was a very timely reminder that there are still reasons to be hopeful, that there is a large amount of mutual goodwill and support available for institutional publishers."

@kirahopkins.bsky.social reflected on the OIPA Symposium.

Academic librarians - how does your institution actually decide whether to fund collective, fee-free open access? What finally ends up moving the internal discussions from yes, or maybe to no? We're running a short, anonymous survey (10–15 mins) to find out. 📚
