ECOGENDER X (2019)
We are very happy to present our latest publication based on the (r)evolutionary project Ecogender / Ecogénero by La Erreria (House of Bent). The Ecogender project explores and criticizes the dichotomy that exists between nature and culture (a dichotomy as artificial as masculine and feminine) from a queer perspective, understood as non-conformist, feminist and gender non-specific.

Our Spanish queer-zine published to accompany the exhibition “Queering the National Archive” at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (3 Dec. 2018/7 Jan. 2019) is available in the exhibition as well as through us. More info: Queering…Exhibition
The Cuir Zine includes graphic work and texts from over 20 artists including activists such as Manuel Zelandia, one of the founders of the LGTB movement of Colombia, Felipe Rivas co-founder of the research group C.U.D.S (Chile) and Rampova, precursor of the Cuir movement, here in Valencia.
TRANSEXPACE (2018)
Transexpace: Galactic Revolt is an experimental queer project which has taken the shape of a photo-novela, a short-film and various performances based on body extensions and pieces by Anna Maria Staiano.

Ximo Rochera, (Director of Ediciones Canibaal) is responsible for the text and the Eva Pez for the layout of the photo-novela whilst Alejandro Sánchez was the main photographer and Toni Cordero provided photo-montages of la Tzarina and Queer Matter. The performers who participated in the project are: Abel Baguena, Graham Bell Tornado, Carolina Boluda, Josey Heyes, Eva Pez, Jennifer Picken, Isaac Torres, Lili Tras Tras and Mad Vicious.

An anthology that involved different artistic and academic voices around feminist and queer art projects and aks the question: Why did feminist art — not of women — take so long to break down the walls of the institution?
Now available in bookstores all over Spain, “Yo Soy…” was coordinated by Professors Ana Navarrete and Virginia Paniagua and has contributions by Carmen Navarrete, Jesús Martínez Oliva, the collective O.R.G.I.A., William James, Mercè Galán, La Errería (House of Bent) y Ideasdestroyingmuros.
