In pursuit of building\u00a0a\u00a0complete\u00a0collection of Ediciones Vig\u00eda<\/a>, RBSC recently added\u00a0nine hand-made books from the Cuban publishing house. Our collection now totals just under 200 books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The press was founded in 1985 in Matanzas, a city just east of Havana, in response to a repressive period in the 1970s. During this time, artists who were seen as on the margins of society\u2014gay, opposed to revolutionary values, outside the mainstream\u2014were ignored or punished. A small group led by Rolando Est\u00e9vez, a theater designer, and Alfredo Zald\u00edvar, a writer, undertook a project to open a press to publish these types of works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nine new acquisitions are fine examples of Ediciones Vig\u00eda’s hallmarks. They are hand made from readily available, inexpensive materials. All nine are shown above, with detail views of Canci\u00f3n de redenci\u00f3n<\/em> below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
