Dente Feira de Publicações was created by the art collective Dente (formed by eight artists from Brasilia: Ana Terra Fensterseifer, Daniel Lopes, Heron Prado, Livia Viganó, Lovelove6, Lucas Gehre, Diana Salu and Tais Koshino).

The event took place annually in Brasília since 2015 and, in addition to the fair with independent artists from all over the country, it also has a schedule of workshops, debates and conversation circles.

[1][2] Dente also had smaller derivative events with the objective of stimulating the formation of public, such as Dente de Leite (similar to the main fair, but smaller and only with local authors), Feira 1,99 (with independent publications sold for the symbolic price of R$1.99) and Olimpíadas de Zines (with several games related to the production of fanzines).

Also in 2019, there was a fee waiver policy for black and trans people who wanted to apply for the award.

[11][4][2] In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dente Feira de Publicações was not held and the Prêmio Dente de Ouro was held virtually, with the winners receiving R$1,000 and a "trophy brooch" sculpted by Julia Balthazar.
