“…with varying translucencies, representing the past, present, and future. Herbarium specimens are crucial for studying plant diversity and evolution. It is important to preserve specimens for future generations since they provide immense economic and scientific benefits to society. It is through herbarium specimens that we are able to observe the essence of time.”

The 7th abC Art Book Fair with the exhibition theme of ‘Nomadic and Imagined’, invites us to explore and imagine a free-roam adventure. The revelation of nomadism today prompts us to be alert to changes in ecology and climate; It represents the possibility of free and loose organization, flexible and effective action, decentralization, and breaking boundaries. Through "nomadism," we can find the "ligne de fuite" (Deleuze), find ways to coexist with differences in changing practices, understand the unknown chaos of the world, and let our free imagination reach far and wide.
