SILVER MEDALIST at the 2022 International Latino Book Awards
Looking at Art Beyond the Gallery's White Cube with Latinx Eyes.
BEYOND THE GALLERY is the second instalment of the Beyond series by Laberinto Press. This multilingual and multi-genre anthology showcases emerging and established talents within the Hispanic-Canadian community, featuring a broad range of writings on visual culture by writers, artists, and cultural workers. Resisting the sterility of contemporary art's white cube, BEYOND THE GALLERY embraces eclecticism by weaving together a labyrinth of visual experiences through intersecting and diverging pieces of fiction, creative nonfiction, journalism, and academic research. In doing this, we invite readers to consider Hispanic-Canadian literature as Canadian literature, beyond the confines of Magical Realism, the official English-French bilingual model, and to see yourself in these pages.
Literary Nonfiction. Fiction. Latinx Studies. Art.
