From the opening until the end of 2028, WERKER Collective hosts a cooperative print room at Kanal, next to the iconic showroom. It will be a space for collaboration and co-creation that doubles as a meeting place, library and workshop for risography, woodcut and screen printing.
WERKER’s print room wants to establish a cooperative publishing platform to support independent initiatives, embrace collective authorship and self-representation, and promote the fair distribution of resources and revenue. Through self-publishing and collective study, it aims to stimulate a political imagination that emancipates, inviting local organisations and groups to work, think and produce together. Social solidarity, housing justice, (domestic) worker rights, queer emancipation and the rights of non-normative families are among the many potential topics to be explored.
