In 1985, Rolando Estevez and poet Alfredo Zaldivar founded Ediciones Vigia, a small publishing house specializing in handmade books of works by Cuban and international writers. Since that time, he has served as its principal designer and artist. As such, Estevez has designed the majority of its publications and also trained other Ediciones Vigia designers. His original creative work has come to define Vigia's style. Estevez has created over 500 handmade artist books, magazines, plaquettes, and catalogs often in small editions.
Rolando Estevez will give a presentation on his work with Ediciones Vigia, with accompanying exhibit and reception.

This event is part of a two-week series led by Prof. Ruth Behar and the Center for Global and Intercultural Study. Check out the Cuba on Campus website at www.lsa.umich.edu/cgis/cuba for the full calendar and more information!
