"Printed Perspectives - Redefining News with Carved Optimism"

Section MS12, Riccardo Badano

Keywords: archive, publishing

Positive censorship through lino printing sparks a tactile revolution in responsible journalism: each page is a canvas intricately carved with optimistic messages and curated narratives. Lino printing, with its artisanal approach, shapes news deliberately, committing to filtering out negativity and engraving positivity.

Producing your tabloid with supporting lino prints on archived newspapers is an act of editorial empowerment, a tangible manifestation of crafted stories. It embodies a return to printmaking craft. Each decision is a brushstroke on a publication's canvas, from content selection to layout design. Whether through a research portfolio, stamps, or drawing interpretations of old photographs, the project aims to amplify voices, champion causes, and share stories from the Reclaim the Street Movements, 1994. In a digital era, crafting a tangible newspaper is a personal, valuable experience, connecting creator and audience through a medium via physical touch.
