This year’s INDIEPUBCON theme is “Claiming Spaces in Challenging Times.” The theme highlights the ongoing difficulties experienced by creatives and publishers across the country as everyone works against time to survive in the new normal.
Despite these challenges, Filipino writers, artists, and other creatives, in collaboration with indie publishers, are also putting in the effort necessary to keep the stream of creative works flowing.
The year’s event is testament to the necessity of collective action and rootedness in one another. Publishing remains an important channel for collective voices to be heard, and the goal is never simply cultural enrichment, but change.
