HAY CARTONERAS
Making // Sharing about grassroots cardboard publishing movement through practical workshops.
In collaboration with: Precarious Publishing in Latin America
Dr Lucy Bell and Dr Patrick O’Hare, (Hispanic Studies lecturer and Social Anthropologist at the University of Surrey), led workshops and presentations about the cardboard publishing movement at The Story of Books during the Hay Festival in 2018. At the time, Lucy and Patrick were working collaborative research on a Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded research project, ‘Precarious Publishing in Latin America: Relations, Meaning, and Community in Movement’.
The Story of Books has since run drop-in workshops in Hay-on-Wye, and led the workshops at regional fairs. Local artists who participated in the workshops at The Story of Books have also been inspired to make cardboard books in their artistic and teaching practice.
