Disruption is the Product

Work that challenges assumptions, expands public discourse and provokes cultural change.

We believe meaningful advances begin with disruption—when existing ideas, institutions or ways of thinking no longer suffice. Our publications investigate unresolved cultural, ethical, technological and institutional questions, crossing disciplines and resisting easy classification.

Disruption is the Product 1

Books are the beginning; research, exhibitions, education and public dialogue extend those ideas into culture. Our ambition is to become Canada’s leading publisher of experimental ideas: intellectually rigorous, formally inventive and culturally consequential.
