[NAME] Publications

Founded in 2008, [NAME] Publications is dedicated to creating books with an emphasis on often marginalized stories and practices in dominant art and design narratives. The publishing house facilitates the production of books by artists, designers, curators, and scholars whose practices are rooted in the Americas. Co-directed by curators Gean Moreno and Natalia Zuluaga, it disseminates these titles and reaches new audiences through exhibitions, public programs, and the recovery of archival materials.

The Grant will be used to produce a bilingual publication edited togheter with Cuban artist Glexis Novoa (b. 1964, Holguín, Cuba). This illustrated volume compiles studies, artworks, over 400 photographs, and archival material documenting the performance art movement in 1980s Havana. It will present visual and textual information on all of the performances and ephemeral artworks produced on the island.
