  • Flyer for an event titled 'Experimental Riso Cartographies' featuring a black-and-white map of a city with streets and highways labeled, including the Grand River, Jeffries Freeway, and E. Woow. The background has a colorful, watercolor-like texture. The flyer includes event details: Saturday, December 5th, 12pm-6pm, with registration deadline of December 1st, and mentions Tony Yanick.

    City & the City : Experimental Risograph Cartographies

    SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5
    12:00 PM - 6:00 PM
    DEADLINE TO REGISTER: 12/01

    What happens when one city occupies the same page as another? Using a shared map of Cleveland as a starting point, participants will cut, distort, layer, erase, overprint, and misregister the city into multiple simultaneous versions: the given, the felt, the haunted, and the possible. This hands-on workshop treats the risograph as more than a reproduction machine. Through transparent inks, color separation, handmade textures, double printing, intentional drift, and variable editions, participants will explore how Riso’s quirks can become tools for mapping memory, emotion, absence, and imagined futures. No printmaking or cartography experience is required. Participants will leave with a small edition of experimental prints—and several new ways of thinking about what a map, a city, and a risograph can do.
