Practices, Strategies, and Polyphonic Resistances
Diverse publishing in Spain is advancing amid challenges and new commitments. Projects led by migrant and racialized individuals are opening spaces, questioning traditional ways of writing, publishing, and circulating stories, and proposing alternative possibilities within the publishing ecosystem.
To contribute to this movement, Migraturas and Fes! Cultura, in collaboration with La Parcería and Plataforma Cero, convene the Encuentro: Diversidad editorial en España, a space for dialogue, learning, and collective reflection aimed at recognizing ourselves as a sector, exchanging professional tools, and strengthening networks among book professionals.
Over two days, we will bring together writers, editors, independent projects, collectives, and other initiatives connected to the world of books to share experiences, activate collaborative networks, and open conversations about the challenges, tensions, and possibilities shaping diverse publishing in Spain.
