"Cartoneras are community-based publishing collectives that make low-cost books out
of waste materials in contexts where paperbacks can cost over a month's minimum wage.
The first of its kind, Eloísa Cartonera, was born in Buenos Aires in the aftermath
of the 2001 economic crisis. As many families lost work, many turned to other ways
of supporting their families by picking through trash for objects to recycle, including
cardboard. The founding members of Eloísa began to buy cardboard from these cartoneras
with the idea of using it to create hand-painted books (typically priced for the middle
class and higher in Latin America) at an affordable price. Cartoneras have their own
specific aesthetics, much like zines in the US and Europe, while also finding ways
to experiment with, and potentially break down, some social markers between and social
institutions and systems"
