Become A Citizen of The Commons
Here, you don’t just send files off into the void, you become a Citizen of the Commons. That means rolling your sleeves up, getting ink on your hands, and being part of every stage of making: choosing paper, testing colours, and the print!
The Commons is a non-hierarchical Risograph studio where Citizens (artists, designers, makers, and dreamers) share presses, ideas, and power. It’s not about access cards or subscription tiers. It’s about kinship, shared practice, and keeping the presses humming together.
When you join, you’re not buying a “membership.”
You’re stepping into kinship.
You’re becoming part of the Silly Gooze Commons.
When you become a Citizen of the Commons, you’re not a faceless “member,” but kin. Citizens share the presses, shape the future, and keep the kettle boiling.
