Red Trillium Press/ Aqui, en la lucha announces the publication of its second book collaboration with Cuban artists: El muro/ The Wall.

Eduardo Hernández Santos’ El muro is a composite chronicle of late-night life at Havana’s utmost limit of the city: the seafront wall, popularly know as the Malecón. El muro is a significant visual source of constantly thwarted gay nightlife in Havana, but above all it is a social document about the members of a historical underclass emerging from hiding to contest efforts to control their lifestyles, to proclaim their normality and their non-conformity of the status quo. These powerful images express the subjects’ abiding desire to reaffirm their existence.

El muro is ten black and white triptych photographs, two bilingual essays and a glossary. The edition of 1200 is available in March for $85 and the prepublication price is $70.

The deluxe edition of 50 includes a signed copy of El Muro, two pigmented inks portraits signed on verso in a clamshell box. The deluxe edition is available May 2009. 

Please join us at the Codex Book Fair, February 8–11, 2009 in Berkeley, California, where Red Trillium Press will display a model of El muro as well as other books from the press.
