SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 19 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes celebrates this Friday and Saturday ‘Pliegue 5’, a meeting of publishers, bookstores, archives and national and international artists whose experimental or artistic publications explore new formats in publishing and where the public can consult and discover new projects by the authors themselves.
This festival, organized by Onda Corta. Documentation Laboratory of TEA and La Raya (a multidimensional, queer and feminist cultural project with an emphasis on inclusion), will be a safe space in which diversity is welcomed and its fluidity is taken care of, with the aim of becoming a meeting point between groups and allies to promote the development of openly queer, anti-racist, anti-fascist and transfeminist activities, dialogues and spaces.
On Saturday, a self-publishing fair will be held in the TEA square where you can find the publications of the invited projects for sale (Antorcha editions, ODD KIOSK and Colectivo Ayllu), in addition to the projects participating in the Open Call: an opportunity to learn about self-publishing projects from the hands of their creators.
In addition, there will be a reading area with the La Raya collection-archive and a selection curated especially for the TEA art library by La Raya, which will become part of its permanent collection, TEA said in a note.
Throughout the event there will be a Komang musical selection and the public will have a chill area available, a place to decompress and relax if you need to disconnect.
Thus, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. is the Chill time slot, the time to visit the fair in a quiet way, without too many sensory stimuli.
All scheduled talks will have sign language interpretation.
‘Pliegue’ will kick off on Friday at 4:30 pm with a festival presentation.
Later, at 5:00 p.m., the visual artist, illustrator, art director and editor of Antorcha Ediciones, Raquel Manchado, will offer the conference ‘Of those mud, these mud!’, a journey through misogyny and symbolic violence in humor of the past and its implication in the present.
OPENING ON SATURDAY AT 11.00
On Saturday, at 11:00 a.m., the opening of the fair will take place in the TEA square and between 11:00 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. the documentary ‘Are we there yet? / How much left?’
This work collects reflections on safe spaces in the context of self-publishing.
Thus, in the context of Pliegue 5: a target on the back/Safe spaces and desktop publishing, La Raya and Onda Corta Lab interview national and international projects that generate inclusive platforms to promote synergies between groups, and with the participation of ODD KIOSK, Snap! clap!

That same day, at 12:30 pm, Francisco Godoy (belonging to the Ayllu Collective) will offer a talk in the TEA square entitled ‘Spit out rage and find love. Poetics of the colonial wound of the Ayllu’ Collective.
The publications, t-shirts and ‘prints’ of the Colectivo Ayllu will be on sale during the fair that will take place in the TEA square from 11:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
At 5:30 p.m. there will be a meeting with ODD KIOSK at the Art Library, a ‘queer’ project that has found a space in the form of a kiosk in Barcelona to celebrate difference and the rare.
They celebrate LGTBIQ+ culture through the best independent magazines and a wide selection of approximately forty artists that are part of the collective.
