• Cartonera Publishers Conference: Recycling Latin American Bookscapes (UW-Madison, October 2009)

  According to Frederico Barbosa, Executive Director of POIESIS (a cultural organization which includes Museu da Língua Portuguesa, Casa das Rosas, and Casa Guilherme de Almeida), Dulcinéia Catadora, the Brazilian component of the Cartonera Publishers Conference is... "Uma iniciativa que integra o fenômeno editorial das cartoneras, o projeto , em pouco mais de dois anos de existência, já pode ser considerado uma das mais importantes iniciativas socioculturais deste país. Sob a generosa coordenação da artista plá'stica Lúcia Rosa, o projeto aproxima jovens carentes do universo das artes plásticas e da literatura, propiciando-lhes tanto oportunidades profissionais novas, quanto o acesso a um universo cultural muitas vezes distante de suas realidades. Notável também é o elenco de escritores que o projeto já publicou. Autores como Haroldo de Campos, Manoel de Barros, Alice Ruiz, Lau Siqueira, Glauco Mattoso e Wilson Bueno, entre tantos outros, certamente estão entre os mais significativos escritores do Brasil. Em outras palavras, aproxima o que há de melhor e de mais sofisticado sendo escrito no Brasil de uma parcela da juventude do país que normalmente estaria excluída deste repertório e do universo que o produz. É a arte e a literatura cumprindo como nunca seu papel de agente da inclusão social."
