Research, design, and production

One practice. Three worlds.

A shared practice for the things
we make, keep, and pass on.

Meet Griot

Griot began with images and books. The practice keeps opening outward.

The whole practice

Griot brings research, design, publishing, and everyday objects into one shared practice. We develop ideas through Studio, give them form and circulation through Press, and bring them into everyday life through Market.

Maroon / Griot Studio

Griot Studio

Where ideas take shape.

Research, design, and production. Studio develops Griot’s own projects and works with others on images, publications, objects, and digital tools.

Griot Press

Where ideas are carried forward.

Books, writing, images, and editorial work. Press makes space to read closely and return to the work over time.

Where the work meets everyday life.

Clothing, objects, and editions. Market is where available Griot goods can be purchased and brought into everyday use.

How it connects

Connected,
not separate.

A project can take shape in Studio, become a book through Press, and find its way into your hands through Market.
