Description:

This book was initially created as a way for Antena to celebrate and document Antena’s installation during Spring 2012 as part of Round 36 at Project Row Houses in Houston, Texas. It was made at the instigation of the The Conversant and is available as an Issuu here.

Antena @ PRH was a durational performance and a functional space where a range of multilingual literary adventures were activated: a bookspace and reading room with hundreds of small-press and DIY publications from autonomous presses in The Americas, a large collection of books from independent presses featuring innovative work by African-American, Latino and Latin American writers, a read/write club that met weekly for 10 weeks, and more.
