**Toof Press and Trafohaus**
toofprints is an exploration of text and image in public space, run by Alice Yard member, Kriston Chen of Toof Press. As part of his contribution to Alice Yard for documenta fifteen, toofprints will be hosted concurrently at Granderson Lab in Belmont, Trinidad and at Trafohaus in Kassel, Germany. Each week new posters will be pasted at both sites.
Since 2016, the project has been an open invitation to artists and designers to submit artwork to be wheat pasted on the walls of Alice Yard in Trinidad. The project was part of a conversation with graphic designer, Erik Brandt, and his Ficciones Typografika (2013-2018) poster project on the side of his garage in Minnesota, USA.
Poster designs get submitted digitally from around the world. Occasionally in collaboration with writers/poets and artists-in-residence at Alice Yard. Posters are printed in black and white, and pasted on the side of the building of Alice Yard. In addition to the neighbourhood, the posters are showcased online and linked to each contributor.

About Alice Yard
Alice Yard is a contemporary art collective, based in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Since 2006, we have organised and hosted numerous artists’ projects and exhibitions, performances, conversations, and other events, developing an ethos of self-determination, self-sufficiency, generosity, and playfulness, inspired by Trinidad's tradition of communal urban yard spaces and mas camps. We also run a residency programme bringing artists, curators, and others to Port of Spain. Alice Yard is administered and curated by architect Sean Leonard, artist Christopher Cozier, writer and editor Nicholas Laughlin, and designer Kriston Chen, with the support of an evolving network of collaborators, headquartered at our Granderson Lab space in the Port of Spain neighbourhood of Belmont.
