In this hands-on workshop, participants will make their own cartonera books—books with handmade covers constructed with recycled cardboard and other unexpected materials—while learning about the impact and cultural history of this book making practice in Latin American and the Caribbean.

Previously, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison she founded and developed the most comprehensive cartonera book collection in the world and created the Cartonera Publishers Database.
