As part of SE IMPRIME: EVERY CONSTRUCTION LOOKS LIKE A RUIN AT FIRST, a presentation of poster and ephemera coming from the Chilean popular riots from 2019, Pablo César Castro Zamorano presents a set of Risograph workshops in the exhibition space at Printed Matter, along with peers Terri Gordon-Zolov & Eric Zolov, and Sokio of New Latin Wave.

DOCUMENT FOR THE FUTURE is a hands-on workshop to visualize and print participants’ graphic and literary expression of ideas, desires and wishes for the world we want.

Participants will be provided with two simple materials, a marker and paper, to write and draw whatever they want in relation to the theme of creating a document that expresses desires for the future of our planet. These finished hand-drawn documents will then be reproduced on a Riso duplicating machine. The collected Riso-printed works of participants will then be bound into a publication during the workshop.

Friday, October 14 — (general public)
10am - 12pm
Co-presented with Terri Gordon-Zolov & Eric Zolov

Sunday’s workshop will be dedicated specifically to working with teens/young people. We are interested in exploring youthful minds that are open to the possibilities of the world constructed by adults

On September 3, 2022 a similar workshop was held at SE IMPRIME, Galpón 2 del Persa Victor Manuel in Santiago where a group of 7 teens built the contents of this DOCUMENT FOR THE FUTURE published on-site (pictured left)
