Collaborators

Although the project is housed at The University of Manchester, we are collaborating with groups and individuals in Latin America as part of our research processes and project outcomes.

Entreviñetas

Entreviñetas is a platform based in Colombia for promoting creativity, well-being and skills through comics and drawing.

Banco de la República Cali

The Centre for Documentation, Banco de la República Cali is a public space for specialised consulation and research, targeted at the recovery, conservation and promotation of documents that, in different ways, address diverse elements of the Valle del Cauca region and its area of influence along the Pacific coast of Colombia. Among the collection’s holdings there are regional newspapers dating from the nineteenth century to the present, magazines and bulletin edited and publishing across the region, photographic and family album archives, maps and plans, ephemera, fanzines and uncommon publications from Cali, among other materials. The Centre is also an access point for the wider library network of the Banco de la República.

Universidad ICESI

As part of the event we are co-organising, the Departament of Communication and Digital Content, the Specialisation in Creative Writing and the Centre for Afrodiasporic Studies (CEAF) will take part in the work being undertaken by this research project, work of real importance to the city of Cali.
