The 2017 edition (the 3rd) of Otra Mirada took place in Guatemala, a region that rarely holds major meetings in this sector.
With the support of AC/E’s Programme for the Internationalisation of Spanish Culture (PICE), Spanish participants were able to join in the debate, which focused on key issues like publishing analysis – an activity designed to seek a balance between the dissemination of culture and its economic feasibility as a business project. As the world's leading producer of books in Spanish, Spain has a huge diversity of publishing projects. The quality, both material and intellectual, of Spanish publishing production is exemplary, and the organisers wished to provide a platform for bringing many of these initiatives to participants’ attention. Otra Mirada also sets out to encourage the creation of a network of book sector professionals in Central America, Latin America and Spain.
