Scope and content
"A collection of Argentine zines assembled by Libros Latinos. This assortment features 260 items from independent creators, each entry consisting of a limited run. Although the collection spans over 30 years of production, the majority of this grouping was published within the last four years, providing insight into Argentine counter culture, recent labor movements, and LGBTQ+ voices." -- Libros Latinos
"Since their inception, zines have given marginalized individuals and communities a voice, thereby exploring and allowing new avenues of thought and ideas that may be perceived as subversive, unconventional, or even threatening to mainstream culture and society. However, just as many other art and literary movements have done throughout history, these works serve to push conversations forward, helping to usher in waves of progression, open-mindedness, inclusivity, and dynamism.
This new 111-item zine collection does just that, exploring contemporary thought and art in Mexico to create new political and social conversations. These works especially examine topics like feminism, body image, gender identity, and sexuality. The compilation also includes punk zines and creative Risograph zines of limited editions, rounding out a truly distinctive, insightful body of work." -- Libros Latinos
