Boxset: Letra Muerta x Booklyn

Aimed for institutions. This is a box set we did in collaboration with Booklyn. Since 1999, Booklyn’s mission has been to promote artists’ books as art and research material. They specifically assist artists and organizations committed to environmental and social justice. 

A collection of 12 publications from Letra Muerta Inc., with various ephemera, and a box set catalog, spanning 2014 to 2025. Most of these publications are out of print, and many of them have been awarded various design and book prizes.

Letra Muerta Inc. is an award-winning design studio. While the studio welcomes participation from all, it primarily supports the work of Latin American and Caribbean artists, particularly women and other people of the periphery.
