Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.
Starting out as a printing press business, Visprint has since diversified its market base by following a publishing model that “favor[s] works that are very Pinoy in taste, evocative of our society and culture, and/or set in Philippine background”. Visprint publishes works in both Filipino and English.
