Dolce Stil Criollo is a neologism that invokes its own complexity. It is the sweet creole style, a project made beyond borders between two friends. We publish works about what it means to be and live where we are. Our bookworks make up a small history of the Americas. Both our editorial line and experiments in design seek to create a reader who traverses languages. Our previous issues have published writing and artwork from Mexico, Brazil, the United States, Puerto Rico, among other places around the world. Dolce Stil Criollo’s fifth issue, "Extraordinarily Apotropaic," aims to rethink reality in its current ordinary form by discovering and creating charms and rituals for changing it into one where there is less harm. The issue features poems in multiple languages; a map of dreams; a video game-turned-manga; a section that functions as a kineograph; a collaboration with the Huni Kuin people; and more. We also curated a collective project, “Cinema of Hope,” which brings together 11 moving image artists in search of the apotropaic moment, caught on film. Presented by Public Records. All ages
