Launched in November of 2019, SAP is home to 9 Social Art publications that branch from Phycho-Geography, Queer Studies to 21st Century Folk Art.

SAP has held various launches for publications, such as ‘Elan Calls’ by R.M. Sanchez-Camus a creative and psychogeographic exploration of the Elan Valley. As well as Applied Live Art’s launch of ‘100 stars in the Sky’,. a self-mentoring tool inviting creative practitioners to choose a selection of tips as guides for any given project, situation or process
SAP wants you to have personal relationship with the publications, that is why ‘Afterwords’ – a Q&A was made alongside each author to give an insight into the different ways you can produce a publication. Every author is asked the same five questions about a selected book.
A four part Q&A was also created with the people working behind the scenes at SAP.
