The London Cartonera Book Festival
Please join us at the forthcoming London Cartonera Book Festival to be held from 17 to 20 September at the University of London and the British Library.
The festival is the result of a collaboration and partnership between academics at the Universities of Surrey, Durham and Manchester, leading cartonera publishers from Brazil (Dulcineia Catadora, Catapoesia) and Mexico (La Rueda Cartonera, La Cartonera and Viento Cartonero), and the Senate House Library, University of London, The British Library and Cambridge University Library.

Cartoneras are a community publishing initiative that emerged in Latin America in the early years of the 21st century. They take their name from the waste-pickers who supplied and still supply discarded cardboard (cartón in Spanish) for the creation of unique hand-made and hand-painted books. Working at the intersection between literary production, artistic practice and community action, there are more than 250 cartonera publishers throughout Latin America and beyond.
Each workshop will be a hands-on event, providing a unique opportunity for you to learn more about the cartonera publishing movement in Latin America and make your own cartonera book. The workshops will explore different facets of cartonera arts-based activism, which relate to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Examples from Senate House Library’s own cartonera collection will be on display during the events.
The festival is coordinated by Dr Lucy Bell (University of Surrey), Dr Alex Flynn (University of Durham) and Dr Patrick O'Hare (Manchester University). For more details on how we have been working with these publishers over the past three years please see: http://cartonerapublishing.com
Senate House Library is one of the project partners in this collaboration and will host three of four workshops on 17, 18 and 19 September at Garden Halls, 1 Cartwright Halls. The fourth workshop will be held at The British Library.
All materials for the workshops as well as tea, coffee and refreshments will be provided.
