Santuario - Paola Mendoza, Abby Sher

It's 2032, and in this near-future America, all citizens are chipped and everyone is tracked--from buses to grocery stores. It's almost impossible to survive as an undocumented immigrant, but that's exactly what sixteen-year-old Vali is doing. She and her family have carved out a stable, happy life in small-town Vermont, but when Vali's mother's counterfeit chip starts malfunctioning and the Deportation Forces raid their town, they are forced to flee.

Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to her tía Luna's in California, a sanctuary state that is currently being walled off from the rest of the country. But when Vali's mother is detained before their journey even really begins, Vali must carry on with her younger brother across the country to make it to safety before it's too late.

Lo curatorial: una filosofía de la curaduría - Anthology

Stop curating! And think what curating is all about. This book starts from this simple premise: thinking the activity of curating. To do that, it distinguishes between 'curating' and 'the curatorial'. If 'curating' is a gamut of professional practices for setting up exhibitions, then 'the curatorial' explores what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator. It therefore refers not to the staging of an event, but to the event of knowledge itself.

PAÍS - Various authors

In his latest book, the artist presents a collection of photographs of Colombia’s landscapes and people, captured over more than twenty years. He travels the country from side to side: from the arid yet not barren Guajira to the humid and threatened Amazon. And from top to bottom: from the páramo, kingdom of the frailejón, to the coffee-growing lands, where guadua bends with the wind. He observes not only landscapes, but also men and women—elders who carry within them the serenity of age, and young people strong enough to move a mountain.

Fronteras rojas - Annette Idler

In Borderland Battles, Annette Idler examines the micro-dynamics among violent non-state groups and finds striking patterns: borderland spaces consistently intensify the security impacts of how these groups compete for territorial control, cooperate in illicit cross-border activities, and replace the state in exerting governance functions. Drawing on extensive fieldwork with more than 600 interviews in and on the shared borderlands of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, where conflict is ripe and crime thriving, Idler reveals how dynamic interactions among violent non-state groups produce a complex security landscape with ramifications for order and governance, both locally and beyond.

Lo Mas Cruel Del Invierno - Chris Priestley

After Michael's parents die, he is invited to stay with his guardian in a desolate country house. He begins to suspect something is not quite right on the day he arrives when he spots a mysterious woman out in the frozen mists. But little can prepare him for the solitude of the house itself. His guardian is rarely seen, and there's a malevolent force lurking in an old hallway mirror. As the chilling suspense builds, Michael realizes that the house and its grounds harbor many more secrets-both dead and alive.

Un atlas: la obra de Rosario López - Various authors

Retrospective catalogue comprising the artwork (photographs, installations, interventions, art-objects), that artist Rosario Lopez Parra (b. Bogotá, Colombia 1970) has created since 1996, soon after she graduated from the Universidad de los Andes. Her art career has gone through different phases: her early photographic production is strongly related to the human body and the violence lived in Colombia in the 1990's. In 1997 she travels to London to study sculpture and started drawing sketches in a notebook. Another sketchbook entitled "Trampas en el viento" (Wind Traps) with photographs confirms her intuition to understand sculpture as a force of nature.
