“Under Pressure”: Steamroller Print Festival
Categories: Culture, Events
Written By: Niecee

Every year in Canada, high school students, community groups, and artists in Winnipeg come out to the “Under Pressure” festival. A festival that features prints made via a steamroller. Participants create large linoleum carvings up until the day of the festival and on the day of the festival the carvings are inked and printed on sheets of muslin with a steamroller. Once they are printed they are hung on display for all to see.
The Imagine RIT Innovation and Creativity Festival have their own steamrolling art, but in addition uses skateboarding and break dancing to create the prints.

NIECEE’s TAKE AWAYS:
- Community building. Most of these carvings are made within a group effort, and all the students, groups, and artists, come together on one day to share their common interest in steamrolling art.
