Gantala Press

Founded in 2015, GANTALA PRESS is an independent, non-profit, volunteer-run Filipina feminist press and literary collective focused on women’s stories and issues. Our projects consist primarily of publications, discussions, and workshops. Our work encompasses cookbooks for/from militarized communities, poetry collections, and personal narratives written by women from the basic sectors. We believe in the potential of feminist publishing and in solidarity work with women artists and collectives as vital political action.
