BANZAI EDITIONS ?

Our commitment to artists has always been at the heart of our mission. We have published over 500 artists, notably through our flagship magazine, BANZAI, the portable gallery.
It is important to emphasize our artisan approach, with a screen printing and risograph workshop in our offices. The publishing director worked as a printer specialized in artistic reproduction for 13 years.
We have always paid meticulous attention to every detail of our editions and constantly strive for innovation. Unique design has become a key part of our identity today, offering us the freedom to experiment and push boundaries.
We are a small but passionate and pragmatic team.
