Known in Rio de Janeiro as the "line from hell," the 474 bus route crosses the city from North to South, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From Monday to Friday, under cloudy skies, the line serves its purpose: feeding the Cidade Maravilhosa with cheap labor from Jacarezinho, one of the city's most violent and impoverished neighborhoods. On sunny weekends, however, the line emerges as a subversive character, appropriated as an access route to the beach by residents of marginalized areas. The Bus Practices Manual is a political-architectural essay on the city as an agent of exclusion. Through discriminatory discourse in the press and among the so-called good citizens, this bus route has become a structural wound in the city's urban space system, with its own unique codes and rhythms.

About — We are an independent publishing house that was born in 2018 in Barcelona. No Libros is a reflection on the excess and overproduction of books and texts, the saturation of publications that has occurred in the last decade. It reflects on quality, the current need to produce more, and the advocacy for sharing, recycling, quoting, duplicating, imitating, pirating, and hacking. In the face of large bookstore chains, distributors that increasingly demand higher percentages, print-on-demand (PoD), poet robots, Amazon Mechanical Turk, ChatGPT, the precarity of the market, and interconnected systems that make designers, typographers, publishers, or even writers less necessary, experimental publications, amateur graphics, the supply of paper, and the rescue of artisanal printing processes are gaining importance. No Libros is a slow, tired publishing house, doing the best it can. Our project is collaborative. We seek original, critical content that pushes the boundaries of text and image, resulting in unique works, primarily from Latin authors.
