Risotto Celebrates 400 Postcards, Staying True to Analog Roots

Reflecting on a world where snail mail beats AI in charm and soul.

Gen Z’s digital fatigue has seen a resurgence of analog media, with Gen Zers embracing the slower pace of life. Gabriella Marcella, founder of Risotto design studio, started her journey in 2012 by falling in love with risograph printing. In 2017, she launched the Riso Club, mailing four postcards each month to subscribers across the globe.


This month marks a significant milestone for the project: its 100th mailing and a large-scale retrospective of all 400 artworks at the Glue Factory, showcasing the vast diversity of styles and messages. Marcella believes in the importance of having physical objects that can be interacted with, encouraging deeper engagement with art.


The exhibition runs from April 11 to 19, featuring a collection that has spanned artists from Bogota to Melbourne. For those unable to visit, Risotto has released a searchable digital atlas for all 400 works on their website and Instagram.


Marcella’s project stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of analogue communication in an increasingly digital world—refreshingly slow and deeply personal.
