SPD proudly joins forces with Antena, a language justice collaborative formed by John Pluecker and Jen Hofer, to broaden access to small press publications and innovative literature among Spanish-language and English-language readers in Houston, through Project Row Houses. Project Row Houses is a Houston-based arts and cultural organization that creates community by celebrating African-American culture in the city's historic Third Ward. Starting at the end of March 2012, John Pluecker will inhabit one of PRH's historic shotgun houses with a temporary bookstore, reading room and experimentation lab containing numerous small and tiny press publications-many supplied by SPD-with an African-American and Latino emphasis.
