We started Mapping the Borders because we were tired of art that looks like it was made for a hotel lobby in 2014. The kind that’s been “designed to match any interior”, which is to say, to mean nothing in particular.

We sell limited edition prints, posters, and political ephemera by artists we love. Each piece is made in a small run, signed by hand, and shipped in a tube with a Polaroid of the studio it came from. It’s not subtle. It’s not for everyone. It’s probably for you.

We believe a print on the wall should make a guest pause at the dinner party.

01

Editions, not infinity

Everything we make is finite. When it’s gone, it’s gone — like a good argument.

02

Loud on paper

Riso. Offset. Letterpress. Anything that smudges if you press too hard.

03

Living artists, paid fairly

50% to the artist on every sale. We do the maths in front of them.

04

No vibes-only

If a piece can’t survive a difficult conversation, we don’t print it.
