About lucky risograph: Lucky Risograph is an Asian and Hispanic-owned print press and design studio based in DUMBO, Brooklyn. Since our establishment in 2018, we have continued incorporating the eco-conscious, accessible, and affordable nature of risograph printing into our everyday practice. Through the art of risograph, we support artists, small business owners, and grassroots organizers in sharing their stories. Some of our most treasured achievements have been collaborating with small businesses and organizations such as Wing On Wo, Yoseka Stationery, La Morada, The Noguchi Museum, GKids, and many more. Beyond our publishing, design, and print services, we organize workshops and offer D.I.Y. studio space. As we continue to adapt our public events to the needs of our community, we love hosting art markets, talks, virtual panels, exhibits, and events such as Sounds About Riso. We hope to introduce and uplift emerging creators and aspiring zine-makers to the 🌼joy🌼 of independent publishing.
