Open Studio + Riso Printing Demo at Moniker Press

100 Years in the Making | This event is organized in support of ECU 100, Emily Carr University of Art + Design’s centennial anniversary.

Drop by the Moniker Press studio on Saturday, November 1, 1-4pm, for an inside look at the process of the Moniker Press risograph print shop. At the open studio, you’re invited to see the risograph printers in person, and view print samples from the archive. For the demo we’ll be printing the 2-colour Collab Poster drawn throughout the first month of the En Route: mobile forms of art and education exhibition at Libby Leshgold Gallery.

Biographies

Moniker Press is a risograph print and publishing studio that works collaboratively with artists to produce small editions of books, zines and print ephemera. Located in Vancouver, Canada on the unceded and ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Moniker Press is run by artist Erica Wilk whose practice often incorporates photography, collage and video mediums. Born and raised in amiskwaciy-wâskahikan, Treaty 6 territory (so-called Edmonton, Alberta) Erica relocated to Vancouver to pursue their BFA at Emily Carr University (2011). Founded in 2014, Moniker Press has slowly evolved into two functioning facets— a print-for-hire shop and publishing project. Moniker Press is a platform for collaboration, education and experimentation. Moniker Press supports projects that are visually engaging but also offer new, radical, and unexplored perspectives on current topics and issues.
