Colorama.space

Colorama is a small Art Press and Risoprinting studio based in Berlin run by Johanna Maierski since 2015.
Our publications and exhibitions present contemporary artists in the field of experimental comics and artists’ books, as well as projects that explore speculative forms of narration, collective narration and alternative knowledge production.

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.
