- One of the "libros cartoneros" currently being produced by the non-profit community-based editorial collaborative Dulcinéia Catadora, launched in São Paulo in 2007 by artist Lúcia Rosa. Dulcinéia Catadora, inspired by similar efforts such as Eloísa Cartonera, the first such project founded in Buenos Aires in 2003 by artists Javier Barilaro and Fernanda Laguna, and writer Washington Cucurto, and Sarita Cartonera, based in Lima, Peru, organized the following year in 2004, publishes inexpensively-photocopied avant guard and experimental texts by well-known, as well as new, writers, alive as well as deceased. Texts are bound in covers made from pieces of recycled cardboard boxes salvaged from the garbage by cardboard scavengers or "catadores", and hand-painted by them in unique designs. This collaborative effort of writers, artists, and "catadores" has made books affordable and accessible to more readers, popularized marginal literature, created new uses for discarded materials, and provided higher income, more creative jobs, and greater self-esteem for scavengers and street people.
