Cartonera is a social, political and artistic publishing movement that began in Argentina in 2003 and has since spread to countries throughout Latin America and, more recently, to Europe and Africa. In this video, Maria Aparecida Dias da Costa of Dulcinéia Catadora in São Paulo, Brazil, shows us how to make a cartonera book from scratch.

In this short clip, the ‘cardboard publishers’ Dany Hurpin and Nayeli Sanchez from Cuernavaca, Mexico, show us how to make books using recycled cardboard for covers.
