Dia de los Muertos Special I - Riso & Zine Making

  • Riso Pop 36h Krugerstraat Amsterdam, NH, 1091 LH Netherlands (map)

As the end of October draws near, in Mexico, my beloved homeland, preparations for the grand celebration of the Day of the Dead are on their way! It's a joyous occasion where families come together to honor the memory of their departed loved ones and to revel in the beauty of life. Rest assured, it's a celebration of love and remembrance!

Join us this Wednesday evening to delve into the heartwarming traditions of this festival and craft your unique tribute to those we hold dear. This workshop offers an introduction to Risograph printing and zine-making.

What to expect?

  • During this evening you will get an introduction to the Die de los Muertos festivity and the symbolisms behind the ofrendas.

  • Using this as inspiration you will create a page for our collective zine. Using photographs, collage or text.

  • You will also learn how the risogrpah printer works and will be creating a design on A4 with two colours.

  • You will go home with a collection of everyone’s prints bound in a zine!

Come and celebrate this Mexican tradition with us!
