Seeing Being Seen offers a glimpse into the challenging and rewarding choices of a career in publishing, and in the arts. This text-based memoir by a woman who, as she notes in the introduction, “began reading picture books and ended up publishing them,” is punctuated by iconic photographs—gifted to the author from projects, obtained through trade, or purchased in support of non-profit arts organisations—by some of American photography’s master practitioners.

About the Publisher
Founded in 2013, Minor Matters is a collaborative publishing platform, making books through the engagement of our international audience. We highlight underrepresented voices in contemporary art, and preserve our present for the future through publishing their work. At Minor Matters, we recognize that significant art and ideas may stay on the fringes without the support of a community. Like us. With you. Everyone who buys our books in pre-sales is listed as a co-publisher—we’re making books together.
