Colorama

Colorama is a publishing house and Risoprinting studio based in Berlin and run by Johanna Maierski since 2015. We publish art books, produce Riso and publishing projects, and run educational programs around self-publishing, printing and binding.
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 loosely holding your hand will sharpen your thoughts, strengthen your practise and soothe your self doubts – resulting into something new, exciting and rewarding.
