Masks are out! And in a new format

A Brief and Revelatory History of Masks written by Rosa Luisa Márquez is now out, and in a new format.

 

The Year Ahead

Hello all

The days are ticking down til 2017, and we here in the Deiknumena Complex are facing some truths. The first is, boy this is a lot to do. Second, collaborating with authors has been a great addition to the project. And third, boy there is a lot to do putting out an encyclopedia.

The September issue on Migration got postponed until 2017, and it now looks that the new book on Masks as well will not come out until the beginning of  the new year. It is about ready to go to the printers, but I am about to leave town for the holidays.

The coming year will see new books released but we need to face the reality that every three months for a new book is simply not realistic. I am hoping that three a year is more doable, but have no fear the project will continue on.

Thanks for your support and in the meantime here are some of the new masks that will be out soon,
