A publishing phenomenon and artistic project, cartonera was born in
the wake of Argentina's 2001 economic crisis. Infused with a
rebellious spirit, it has exploded in popularity, with hundreds of
publishers across Latin America and Europe making colorful,
low-cost books out of cardboard salvaged from the street. Taking
Form, Making Worlds is the first comprehensive study of cartonera.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research conducted across Mexico,
Brazil, and Argentina, the authors show how this hands-on practice
has fostered a politically engaged network of writers, artists, and
readers. More than a social movement, cartonera uses texts,
workshops, encounters, and exhibitions to foster community and
engagement through open-ended forms that are at once artistic and
social. For various groups including waste-pickers, Indigenous
communities, rural children, and imprisoned women, cartonera
provides a platform for unique stories and sparks collaborations
that bring the walls of the "lettered city" tumbling down. In
contexts of stigma and exclusion, cartonera collectives give form
to a decolonial aesthetics of resistance, making possible a space
of creative experimentation through which plural worlds can be
brought to life.
