Title: Blickwinkel
Description: Anthology that brings together writers, artists and illustrators from Mexico and Germany who debate, present essays, poems, chronicles and more, on how the reality of the world has changed unexpectedly since the arrival of the pandemic, with an emphasis on feminism. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that its explorations are not limited to the word, but appeal to other languages, from graphic design (by Manuela Eguía) and illustration to the visual arts. This worldwide confinement has changed the way of thinking, of making art, of connecting with people, but above all, of idealizing the future that awaits us in the coming years; this was a constant thought for those who are part of the Goethe Institut in Mexico. Starting with the question "What does this unknown time hold for us?", the director of the library of the German cultural center, Nesa Fröhlich, summoned by invitation, together with Idalia Sautto, founder and editor of Pitzilein Books, a group of writers and intellectuals to reflect on what life is and will be like during and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic. The cover photograph was taken by Irving Cabello in the Comcáac community, which is in the state of Sonora, in northern Mexico. The image is a tree with ribbons, which the community uses to mark their territories. The Comcáac population, now isolated, were originally desert nomads,  -comcáac means 'men of the sand'- and the image serves a metaphor, about how the future should be nomadic.
