Polyphonic Strategies and Resistances
Diverse publishing in Spain is advancing amid challenges and new initiatives. Projects driven by migrant and racialised people are opening up spaces, questioning traditional ways of writing, publishing, and circulating stories, and proposing other possible approaches within the publishing ecosystem.
To contribute to this movement, Migraturas & Fes! Cultura, in collaboration with La Parcería & Plataforma Cero, are convening the Encuentro: Diversidad editorial en España, a space for dialogue, learning, and collective reflection aimed at recognising ourselves as a sector, exchanging professional tools, and strengthening networks among book practitioners.
Over two days, we will bring together writers, editors, independent projects, collectives, and other initiatives connected to the world of books to share experiences, activate collaboration networks, and open conversations around the challenges, tensions, and possibilities shaping diverse publishing in Spain.
Programme of the gathering
Day 1 – December 2
Ist Migraturas Gathering
A day dedicated to making visible and strengthening editorial creation driven by migrant and racialised people in Spain.
Through conversations with authors, editors, and independent projects, we will explore current practices, strategies, and forms of resistance within the publishing ecosystem.
It will also be a space to connect initiatives, discover new voices, and build professional relationships.
Day 2 – December 3
Editorial Knowledge Lab – Fes! Cultura
A practical and training-oriented day focused on professional exchange. Throughout the day, participants will share concrete tools, working methodologies, and experiences that strengthen independent and diverse publishing. Designed both for established projects and for those just starting out.
Knowledge Routes
A dynamic format in which participants will move through different labs guided by specialists in:
- Distribution
- Catalogue development
- Sustainability
- Communication
Each session proposes a practical exchange based on real experiences, offering professional resources and opportunities for collaboration.
Challenges and futures of diverse publishing
To close the day, a participatory space will be opened to share conclusions and visions for the future. We will identify common challenges and possible actions to strengthen and expand the presence of migrant and diverse voices in the Spanish publishing ecosystem. A collective exercise combining reflection, applied tools, and network-building.
