We regularly organize book launches, conferences, and events related to publications, as a way of promoting them. We participate in numerous national and international book fairs, such as ArcoLisboa/ArtsLibris (Lisbon, PT), ArcoMadrid (Madrid,ES), Drawing Room (Lisbon, PT), Fiebre Photobooks (Madrid, ES), Libros Mutantes (Madrid, ES), Paper View (Bruxels, BE), or Polycopies (Paris, FR).

As a publisher, STET has carried out several projects, among which we highlight: Photography Books in Portugal: From the Revolution to the Present, a co-edition GHOST/Pierrot le Fou/STET, 2024; Pelas Tascas de Lisboa, co-published by FRAME COLECTIVO/STET, 2019; In the Shadow of the Sun, by Catarina Botelho, co-published by GHOST/STET, 2018, with support from the Gulbenkian Foundation-Paris; Cidade Sombra (facsimile of artist book) by Rui Dias Monteiro, 2018.

fred (2026)

ISBN–978-989-36209-2-2

fred is a book from ska batista, that unfolds as a fragmented visual diary, shaped by nights, encounters, and bodies moving through the city. The images inhabit an ambiguous territory between lived experience and staging, between person and persona, tracing a fluid identity in constant transformation. Moving between performances, domestic scenes, and urban wanderings, the book brings together gestures and situations without hierarchy, like visual notes accumulated over time. Exploring desire, projection, and vulnerability, fred offers an open portrait in which intimacy never settles — instead shifting continuously between looking and being looked at.

Sob cada erva (2016)

Sob cada erva is a photozine by Rui Dias Monteiro published by STET in 2016, that uses riso printing in order to explode the grain of the photograph and give it a lively texture, aproaching the paper, from nature and light.
