Gótico Tropical is an independent publishing house focusing on zines and magazines related to migration and cultural displacement, with a focus point in drawing and handmade prints and bookbinding. Our interest lies in publications with a disjointed or non-linear narrative structure.
We have taken part as exhibitors in publishing festivals in Germany like Indiecon in Hamburg and Between Books in Düsseldorf.
These two publications are compiled from a daily practice of drawing and writing. The zines are a visual and textual diary that offer a glimpse into self-observation and the fluidity of thought, while also raising questions about the vulnerability inherent in self-publishing, when discussing personal experiences.
