With their 2015 WaveMaker Grant, Leila Leder Kremer and Juana Meneses launched Portable Editions: LAB, an itinerant edition and zine making unit that adds an education component to their existing publishing projects Artists Making Books and Portable Editions. Portable Editions: LAB embraces a collaborative model of project-driven exhibitions, events, and workshops that occur regularly as pop-up events at temporal or like-minded spaces across Miami.

Artist Making Books is a curated project that supports the production of short run artists’ books by artists with ties to South Florida. Leila Leder Kremer & Juana Meneses founded Portable Editions, a small self-publishing operation to foster appreciation and understanding for artists’ books as portable, intimate, democratic, and as works of art.
