A riso printing and self/diy publishing workshop.

Inspired by the current debate on the removal of statues (iconoclasm). Iconoclasm will be the theme, metaphor and starting point of this workshop. What monuments would you like to see removed or built? What are your thoughts on this subject? Through the creation of a riso publication and/or posters we’ll delve into this subject, visually or in word. You are free to experiment to explore and discuss.

This workshop is an introduction into self publishing, diy and riso printing as a tool.
