We understand publishing and printing as a collaborative practice and a tool to participate in artistic and political discourses. We focus on creating platforms for alternative knowledge production and resource sharing through residency programs, stipends and teaching, continuously 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.
