Originally established as an online magazine in 2015, it became a print publication from its fifth publication in early 2018 onwards. Balam has had seven issues, three of which were released in print form. The eight issue of the publication—which will revolve around the theme of "Chosen Families"—is set to be released in 2022.

In 2022, Balam received the Shannon Michael Cane Award given to emerging artists and publishers by the NY Art Book Fair.

Actualmente, Balam ha tenido siete números, tres de los cuales se publicaron en forma impresa. La octava edición de la revista —la cual girará en torno a la temática "Familias escogidas"— será publicada en 2022.
