Recycled Reading: Latin American
Cartoneras
Tuesday,
October 13
Literary Reading w/
Washington Cucurto and Aldo Medinaceli Lopez
(in Spanish), (lunch will be
served)
12:30 - 2:00 Center for Latin
American Studies,
106 Nichol Ave., Douglass
Campus
Book Making workshop
(bilingual Spanish-English)
3:00 - 5:00 Mason
Gross School of the Arts, 33 Livingston Ave.,
rm. 202
The cartonera publishing
phenomenon began in Buenos Aires in 2003 and was
spearheaded by writers and artists who were
interested in reconfiguring the conditions in
which literary art is produced and consumed.
They came up with a progressive new publishing
model that challenges and contests the
neo-liberal political and economic
hegemony. They purchase cardboard
from the cartoneros who collect cardboard in the
street, and convert it into bookbinding for
short literary pieces whose authors and agents
have donated their rights to the texts.
Each book is decorated with tempera paint and
stencils, creating a one-of-a-kind literary and
art object. These books are sold at
moderate prices to the public, but also make
their way into main-stream venues such as art
museum shops. Eloisa Cartonera, the
Argentine pioneer cartonera publisher, has
inspired similar collectives in seven other
countries such as Peru, Brazil and Paraguay.
One of the Global Initiatives'
"Ecologies in the balance? Thinking
through the crises" events, the Center for Latin
American Studies will host several cartonera
groups at Rutgers for a series of workshops,
exhibits, panel discussions, classroom visits
and films. The participants
include:
Aldo Ricardo Medinaceli
Lopez
from Yerba Mala Cartonera (La
Paz, Bolivia)
Tanya Nuñez Grandón and
Ximena Ramos Wettling
from Animita Cartonera
(Santiago, Chile)
María Gomez and
Washington Cucurto
from Eloisa Cartonera
(Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Maria Lúcia
Goncalves Leite Rosa
from Dulcineia Catadora
(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
