MAKE RISO NOT WAR

Druckbar

we print and drink

Druckbar is an open workshop that organizes events around risography. We host workshops, exhibitions, and events promoting visual creation in Dessau, collaborating with artists from all over the world. In summer, we open our doors to analog music; in winter, we experiment and celebrate diversity and multiculturalism in the town.

  • Orchestrating Annual Print Collections Our commitment to technical experimentation and artistic collaboration has found its most potent expression in our annual print collections. Initiated by Faustin Bernhardt, this program convenes ten artists from across the globe to respond to a singular theme, resulting in limited-edition Risograph series that bridge the gap between local craft and international discourse. Thematic Provenance: 2025 & 2026 The collections serve as a tactile record of evolving concepts. By inviting a diverse cohort of creators, we ensure each edition offers a multifaceted analysis of its core…

    A New Visual Identity for Drukbar Five years marks a critical delta in the life of a creative institution. We have transitioned from the nascent stages of learning and growth into a period of reinforced solidity. Today, our space is a recognized fixture within the city’s cultural and design panorama. To commemorate this milestone, we are debuting a new brand identity that reflects our evolution and the technical provenance of our craft. The Design Thesis Collaborator Adriana Rodríguez Conto orchestrated this visual shift, grounding the identity in the tactile realities…

  • As a conclusion process for our Erasmus Intern, Naomi Rivier, given her expertise in comics, we opened a workshop afternoon about a common topic: Childhood Memories. The result was a compilation publication in which every artist had the chance to have a double page. Given the success of this, we decided to open a Comic club, once Saturday per month we will gather to draw and talk around one specific topic.

    During October and December 2024, we invited 8 local artists to a workshop in which we, as a social movement, created a counter-cultural protest paste-up campaign that challenges the conservative reality in Dessau, this action had a small big change: instead of aggressive, the tone is positive and inspiring. The result was a series of interventions across the city that by the effect of illustration, sent a positive message of inclusivity while their colors changed the mood of gray and not-so-happy spaces.

  • In December, and for the second consecutive year, we have printed a limited edition calendar with the collaboration of local artists who have had something to do with Druckbar. The result: 14 personal, curious or hidden stories about the Bauhaus movement. For this calendar, a private exhibition was made and then some copies were sold at the advents Markt, and the rest at the Bauhaus Shop, to our joy, in December we sold out of stock. Guest Artists: Brigitte Hartwig, Alexandra Ruppert, Johanna Plank, Lisa Raudnitschka, Egehan Layek, Jakob Wolf,…
