Riso Pop is a small risograph studio in Amsterdam run by Aafke Mertens.
As with previous editions, this Open Studio is combined with our Open Call. We invited artists from all over the world to submit their work, and from these submissions we selected 70 pieces. The selected artworks will be presented in our gallery space and published together in a brand-new in-house zine.
Across three days, you’re invited to explore the exhibition, browse our shop, and take part in hands-on Riso activities: from mini workshops to collaborative printing sessions. Everyone is welcome: come celebrate Riso with us!
