Anyone With Connections To Eloisa Cartonera?

[chicago123]

Hi All-

I'm a graduate student photojournalist traveling to BA in March on a grant I received! I'm hoping to do a story on the publishing cooperative Eloisa Cartonera. They started in early 2000s and create beautiful book with cardboard covers that are hand painted. I've emailed and called them but I'm having trouble getting in touch.

Has anyone been in the store they have in La Bombonera? Does anyone know the store owners or authors? Literally any information about it will be helpful!

I'm also looking to hire a translator, I'm not looking for anyone professional--just someone who knows the language and the city and is willing to spend the day with me. Where can I find someone like that?

TL;DR: Looking for anyone with a connection to Eloisa Cartonera. Also want to hire a translator.

Thanks,
Sara

I never even heard of them until I read your post and searched for their site. Those who are interesting in reading their story in English can go to http://www.eloisacartonera.com.ar/ENGversion.html

I will see what I can do to make contact with them.

You have this Chicagoan as your translator.
