Catalyst. Positivity. Change. Big words for an A3 print – and exactly what is needed for an object with so much weight. Our first print holds the potential to catalyse true, positive change – should you be the one to step forward and purchase a copy to make this happen. All profits from sales will directly fund our work to rewrite the story of dementia, paving the way for a future society with the empathy and understanding required to support us all to live to our best.
Celebrating the catalysts for positive change who we are lucky enough to collaborate with each and every day, the Catalyst print draws its wording from our friends at Studio Birthplace – first met on the other side of the world, with values and beliefs aligned with our our own and our international outlook. Like so many of our community, we share a belief in the power of the arts and creative industries and the vital role we know they will play in working towards a better future for us all.
Encouraging small steps towards sparking positive change, the Catalyst print is locally printed via risograph – the ink that is used is soy-based, resin-free and without volatile solvents, allowing environmentally friendly printing which uses minimal electricity. The Catalyst print’s paper is Context Ivory, a recycled and FSC certified stock.
Each and every decision behind the creation of our first print has been made with positive change in mind. We bring this new object to you with a request for action – purchase your print today and be a catalyst for positive change.
boom saloon is an independent publisher dedicated to democratising creativity for good.
We publish books and magazines, both in-house and for clients, exploring the connection between the arts and social change. Alongside this work, we develop community publications with people whose experiences and perspectives are too often overlooked or undervalued. We do this because we believe publishing can do more than communicate an idea. A book or magazine can introduce us to an intriguing new perspective, give us access to an experience we haven’t lived, challenge what we think we know and create space for people to tell their own stories, on their own terms.
Our model brings these things together. The publications we make, sell and share help sustain a wider community of writers, artists, designers, publishers and readers – whilst the income and support generated through our publishing work contributes to the time and creative capacity needed to develop community-led projects.
Every publication bought, read, shared or borrowed helps strengthen that ecosystem. So whether you’re buying from the boom saloon shop or borrowing a publication from our library, you’re taking part in a community that believes printed matter can be a tool for connection, understanding and positive change.
Thank you for being part of it.
