Group Exhibition Celebrates Spirit of Risograph Printing
Tashkeel, the artist and designer studio supporting contemporary practice rooted in the UAE, presents Khali Balak Men RISO, a group exhibition that celebrates the spirit of risograph printing as a space for experimentation, collaboration, and community. Curated by Ibrahim Zaki, the exhibition brings together artists and designers who have engaged with risographs through workshops, personal practices, and collective exchange, highlighting the beauty of limitation, layering, texture, and unexpected outcomes. The works are on show till the 21st August 2026, in Tashkeel’s Nad Al Sheba Gallery.
Risograph printing carries a language of its own: imperfect registration, vibrant colours, visible grain, and a handmade feeling that sits between printmaking and publishing. These qualities make each work dynamic,where the process is not hidden but becomes part of the final image.
The exhibition reflects on how RISO can open new ways of thinking about image-making, storytelling, and reproduction. It invites participants and viewers to slow down, look closer, and appreciate the small surprises that happen when ink, paper, and machine meet.
Through posters, prints, cards, and experimental formats, Khali Balak Men RISO presents a shared archive of learning, play, and creative production — a reminder that printing is not only a technical process, but also a way to bring people, ideas, and practices together.
