Dulcinéia Catadora
Dulcinéia Catadora is a collective from São Paulo formed by people of diverse backgrounds and age groups – artists, writers, street cardboard collectors, and children – who together design and publish chapbooks with recycled cardboard covers. The collective buys cardboard from carroceiros (street collectors) at a fair price, cuts out pieces to create book covers and paints them one by one with gouache. It is a model of creative sustainable economy that supports street collectors and their families, as well as promotes reading and the work of new and unknown writers.

Following the precepts of cartonerismo, Mariposa Cartonera has a strong commitment to literacy, civil rights, sustainability and fair trade.
