We understand publishing and printing as an artistic, collaborative practice and a democratic tool to participate in artistic and political discourses.
We focus on giving access to knowledge and networks through residency programs, teaching and consultation, continiously contemplating our role as a publisher and teacher.
We see Colorama as part of a wider community or publishers and printers that believe in para-institutional learning, equity and autonomy.
We believe that the upright walk with a likeminded individual loosley holding your hand will sharpen your thoughts, strengthen your practise and soothe your self doubts – resulting into something new, exciting and rewarding.
