A Small Zine About the Small Press: Twelve Risograph Printmakers Interviewed by Kenneth Oravetz

4.25x5.5

(12 pages)

Risograph (or riso) is perhaps the premiere format for artsy zine printing today. Like all the best countercultural media formats, riso duplicators were initially made for something else. Riso emerged in the 1980s as a way for institutions to quickly and cheaply print ephemeral documents, but today printmakers have repurposed riso to make expressive and affordable comics, zines, and prints.

Here, I’ve compiled a collection of brief quotes from the printmakers I lengthily interviewed. I hope it serves as a nice introduction into the riso community!

Best,

Kenny
