Community Risograph Newspaper Sessions with Cubitt Artists

Saturday 7 March, and Saturday 21 March. All sessions are 2-4pm

8 Angel Mews, N1 9HH  

Cubitt is building on Islington’s long history of radical publishing, and we’re excited to share that we now have our very own Risograph printer! With it, we’re re-opening the Cubitt Community Press: a space to share local stories, document alternative histories, and support projects in our borough and beyond rooted in social justice.

In our final few months in our current site, we’re working towards our third iteration of our community newsletter: reflection on gentrification, community resources and what’s happening in our borough.

No experience needed, and nothing to prepare, just come along! You can book to attend just one or all sessions, just make sure you get the correct ticket(s).
