nůn studios
nůn studios is a burgeoning member-run risograph print shop in Northeast Portland, Oregon. Launched in 2020, the studio opened as a Black-stewarded space offering production, design, distribution support, education, and studio access to counter-hegemonic artists and organizers. Today, nůn operates with two MZ1090 duplicators, 30 ink colors, and a range of DIY binding and finishing tools. As a collective, mycelial in its reach, utility, poetic, and care, the studio offers free and highly subsidized printing services for organizers, writers, and artists who work in local to global solidarity movements, community wellness, and independent publishing, among other schemes and dreams.
nůn studios was born from A Black Art Ecology of Portland (BAEP)—a transdisciplinary convener and resource mobilizer cultivating networks of creative care for Black artists and communities. Through BAEP's continued support, proceeds from the 5 & 5 portfolio, as well as prints and publications from the studio’s first five years in operation, nůn hopes to launch a transdisciplinary artist-in-residence program that focuses on diasporic voice(s) and solidarity, and supports its communities in need.
