Benzulul

This special edition of Benzulul, a celebrated short story collection by Mexican writer Eraclio Zepeda, was illustrated and designed during a master’s course in editorial design, led by professor Josefina Larragoiti.

Published by Editorial Resistencia, the book explores themes of identity, memory, and indigenous culture in Chiapas. The visual concept was developed collaboratively with Marco Cárdenas and Sabino Gaínza, drawing inspiration from Adolfo Best Maugard’s method —a system rooted in traditional Mexican forms, reimagined to give the stories a unique visual identity.
