San
Francisco Center for the Book 10am-5pm
Cuba's Ediciones Vigía has produced a host of fascinating handmade books of high literary value. Alfredo Zaldívar, Matanzas poet and cultural coordinator, founded Vigía in 1985 with the collaboration of graphic designer Rolando Estévez and a dedicated, volunteer staff. Scavenging among scarce resources and recycled materials, they gradually developed a semi-official publishing house. A few years later, in 1988, they created their first book, and, in 1990, they published their first journal, Revista Vigía. Ediciones Vigía's presence today is stronger than ever, and its books continue to reflect a determined spirit and respect for beauty. Assembled by Linda Howe of Wake Forest University, who has worked closely with Vigía on a number of projects, this exhibition is expected to tour widely in the United States. The San Francisco Center for the Book is its first venue.
