A workshop with Eloisa Cartonera






The artist collective Eloisa Cartonera from Argentina offered a workshop at the University of Michigan, so Maria and Mike and I went to check it out. They are an independent publishing company who supports their community by buying cardboard from the unemployed people who collect it, and use this cardboard to bind their books. We joined the collective for an afternoon and made covers for some latino texts.

  1. Um, kind of incredible! I love the covers. Can we find the books somewhere?
