Introducing Eloisa Cartonera

Eloisa Cartonera is a work cooperative in the neighborhood of La Boca in Buenos Aires, Argentina that produces handmade books with cardboard covers. The cardboard is purchased from urban pickers ("cartoneros") who pick it from the streets. The Eloisa Cartonera catalog now contains nearly 200 titles from various works of literature from Argentina and sibling countries.

Washington Cucurto (founder) and Maria Soledad Gomez of Eloisa Cartonera will talk about their experiences as "cartoner" publishers, about the movement they started, where they are now and their hopes for the future. Light refreshments will be served
