RISOFORUM is a discourse day around risography as one particular, famously infamous tool of self-publishing and DIY printing hosted by Hamburg based collective Risofort, interested in furthering the debate around the funky stencil copiers and broaden our own understanding of what the risography community does, shares, and disputes, and invite everyone to spend a morning together on that matter.
In allusion to this year's motto "Where do we go from here?" we want to establish risography both as an evergreen trend and a doomed endeavor to begin with. The question perhaps also begs answers to "How did we end up here"?
We have compiled a program of 7 speakers who will shine a light on the scene ("the scene"?) from different perspectives, including theory-informed commentary on its state and potential, as well as accounts of hands-on morphed Riso practices such as mixed media paintings, animation, and stickers, and glimpses into studio practices beyond a glossed up facade.
