Congresses
The biennial IAPMA Congress is an international gathering where members from around the world meet in person. Since the association’s founding in 1986, congresses have been held every two years, with only a few exceptions. Each host country’s organizing committee offers insight into its local paper traditions and history. During the congress, members share their knowledge of papermaking through lectures, demonstrations, workshops, and panel discussions. Post-congress tours are typically organized and may include visits to paper mills, artists’ studios, paper factories, and museums. The program often also features a Paper Market, where members may exhibit and sell their work in accordance with the specific congress program. In addition, suitcase exhibitions and one or more curated exhibitions at different venues are commonly part of the event.

THEME:
"DEFINING PAPER — Paper: Surface/Substrate, Paper: Medium of Material, Paper: Tradition made Contemporary"
Theme by Anne Vilsbøell
Studying India’s long history, one finds it reflected in its history of paper. However, the three categories of paper — handmade, mould-made and industrial — have blurred the definition of what paper is and what it is made of. Nowadays, the historical tradition of papermaking has lost respect and visibility in India. The IAPMA Congress 2027 in Udaipur will focus on how paper as a plant-based material can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). Across contexts, socio-economic, ground-level initiatives are needed to orient paper production towards sustainability. In India, the personal and professional networks established at the congress may further lead to collaborative workshops with artists, designers and craftspeople across borders and countries. The aim and purpose for the IAPMA Congress 2027 in Udaipur is to raise knowledge and awareness of the historical, geographical, biological, cultural, chemical and aesthetical aspects of paper.
Join us for IAPMA Congress 2027 in Udaipur!

THEME
"PAPER & WATER"
By Anson Ou and Fides Linien
The IAPMA Congress 2025, titled “PAPER & WATER", will be held in the coastal city of Shanghai, China, a city between history and tradition, modernity and high tech — a city surrounded by a river on all sides, with trade links in the south of the Yangtze River and the East China Ocean.
Water covers more than 70 percent of the earth's surface and is the basis of our existence. In traditional Chinese philosophy, water represents the cycle of life as one of the five elements. With its powerful Yin energy, the element of water symbolizes purity, transformation, clarity and calm. Water symbolizes fertile life and longevity. Like flowing water, all living things on this planet are in constant motion, leading to constant change and renewal. Water is a fundamental element in nature, but also for hand papermaking and for creating works of art. The flow of water is invisible and it is important in the production and creation of handmade paper. It washes, soaks, decomposes and fuses paper fiber and raw material. Also, it allows artists to maintain the variability of their works in the creation of handmade paper and paper art, thus creating a variety of possibilities for this artistic discipline.
The cradle of paper production lies in China. The oldest paper found to date comes from tombs from the early Han dynasty (180-50 BC). In 105 AD, the Chinese minister, Cai Lun, described the paper manufacturing process for the first time. He used fiber from the mulberry tree, hemp waste, old fishing nets and rags, crushed them in stone mortars, dissolved them in water to form a pulp, and used sieves to scoop out the later sheets in layers. Pressed, dried and smoothed, Chinese paper was not only the most important medium for writing, but also a popular decorative material. It was only centuries later that the knowledge of paper production was passed on by merchants, first to the Arab world, then to Europe and from there to the rest of the world.
The theme of IAPMA Congress 2025 is “PAPER & WATER”, which has both a historical and humanistic meaning and reflects the local nature of contemporary art creation. The theme has a multifaceted meaning, implying that IAPMA members will have a good heart in 2025, just like water flowing from all over the world to Shanghai.
Join us — with water and paper as companions — in Shanghai for IAPMA Congress 2025!

It is home to humanities monuments and is surrounded by bamboo forests and the freshwater lake, West Lake, which together form a rich natural and cultural landscape.

2023
Event Dates
The congress took place from September 12, 2023 until September 16, 2023.
Description
PAPER ALIVE! Paper Art International
Paper fulfills a variety of roles in our world. To the casual observer, paper can be a passive, single-use substance – something easily discarded after it has served its limited or temporary function. For the artist, the longevity of paper is crucial, as it dictates the lifespan of an artwork. Finally for the paper artist, PAPER is a medium very much ALIVE – malleable, enduring, and even assertive – and it is precisely these characteristics that we highlight during the 2023 IAPMA Congress in Dresden, PAPER ALIVE! Several congress events such as the opening and closing ceremonies, exhibitions and some workshops will be streamed live via Zoom, Youtube and social media.

Description
PAPER: CONSCIENCE & CONSCIOUSNESS
16 May - 20 May 2018
Pulling from the title of Bulgarian-born writer Elias Cannetti's The Conscience of Words, a collection of essays that followed Crowds and Power, IAPMA looks at the conscience and consciousness of paper in the 21st century, its place in a contemporary, globally connected society and ever-increasing technological world. What are the ethical and moral implications of paper – as a record or document, as a social contract, as an art form, as a craft? What is the power of paper, and what is its weakness? How is the role of paper changing as we progress towards complete digital communication? What is paper's role as we strive for a more conscious, equal, and aware global society? How can we,
as citizens of the world, use paper to affect positive change, social change, environmental change, and technological advances?
Join us for 4 days of presentations, demonstrations, and exhibitions exploring the conscience and consciousness of paper art in beautiful Sofia, Bulgaria.
Please mark the dates on your calendar: 16 May - 20 May 2018.
Post-Congress: 21 May - 28 May (**the tour is officially running**)
In addition, IAPMA will experience the Sofia Night of the Museums on 19 May, when more than 20,000 visitors come to Sofia to experience its art!
