Manual de Miércoles, Risograph zine on Mezcal, Land & Justice, 2020
Every object contains a point of view. This one begins in Durango — where mezcal is not a trend, but a testimony. Manual de Miércoles is a printed zine on land, ritual, and resistance. It observes the mezcalero not as producer, but as witness. The spirit they distill is not merely drink but direction: a means of surviving the middle of the week, the middle of the world.
Printed via Risograph1 in dusky vegetal tones on Mohawk Renewal Hemp Rough2 — a paper made from textile offcuts and agricultural waste— the zine holds its own quiet ecology. There are no instructions here, only traces: of smoke, of ancestry, of labor rarely named but deeply felt.
All proceeds fund ELENA, a nonprofit legal agency offering justice not as theory, but as access. As the zine suggests: to celebrate something is also to defend it.

Printed on translucent Gampi vellum with exposed spine binding, 2021
Printed on Gampi vellum1 and bound with an exposed spine, the zine reveals its structure as much as its subject. Imitation here is not mimicry, but memory—soft, deliberate, and unresolved.
