AKINA is an independent publishing house of photobooks which carry their experimental singularity in contents, visual narratives, handmade and hybrid binding techniques, paper combinations and printing.

Since September 2012 AKINA every publication released is crafted “a regola d’arte” with love and detail attention.
AKINA works with both emerging and established photographers from all over the world, developing an editorial line that is constantly challenging the reader to think critically and reconsider the book form.
In between novels and movies, all the books are created in a collaborative way with the photographers and artisans involved, to propose an unique reading experiences through the books, as objects to crease, love, collect. AKINA is run by Valentina Abenavoli and Alex Bocchetto.
