Event details: Sunday 17 November 2019
3 to 4:30pm – sharing presentation
4:30 to 7:30pm – open woodcut/linocut printing

wares warmly welcomes friends from Denpasar Kolektif in Bali to soft/WALL/studs and Singapore! They are visiting with a selection of woodcuts, linocuts, prints, posters, and zines, and will share with us about their space and activities, which ranges from music gigs to counter-development organising and autonomous cultural events, in relation to Bali and broader situations. Part of this is a showcase of posters and flyers from the Bergerak Bersama gig series, as well as publications that chart varying creative gestures for solidarity and life made within these contexts.

Prepare and bring your own t-shirt, tote bag, patch, loose fabric, or paper, because we will also be printing these woodcuts and linocuts together after the sharing presentation! Black ink will be used primarily so pick a lighter background colour for your substrate of choice – we'll be posting up pictures of the blocks in the comments. (Please note that it would take at least a day for this oil-based ink to dry – you may leave printed materials for collection on another day in the week.) This is a pay-as-you-can activity, and there will be other merch available. As relief printing is a manual process, there may be waiting involved depending on the turnout; we encourage folks to mingle, and the infoshop library will also be open for browsing for the day.
