Kwago

A community bookstore and publishing lab, Kwago fosters independent publishing, Philippine literature and cultural production through co-creating alternative modes of access and distribution, collaborative learning, and international exchanges. We develop exhibitions, publications, programs and projects to nurture trans-disciplinary dialogues and cooperation. The distinction between reading, writing, curating, cooking, drinking, dancing, talking, coding, composing, publishing, resisting, and other gestures are fluid to us.
