Caution


Cathair Press presents publications created as a part of d-act practices, produced in a domestic space shared with two cats. The publications inevitably contain feline hairs, therefore not suitable for readers with cat allergies.

Cathair Press is open for collaborative projects. Please send us your proposal if you’re willing to create a publication for your art project. Our domestic space in Ghent, Belgium is equipped with a Riso duplicator, a digital printer, two 3D printers.
