Papergirl is: participatory, analogue, non-commercial and impulsive. Papergirl is distributed like a newspaper, but not edited or printed like it. It consists of art pieces that are rolled up together.
There are no guidelines as to format, subject matter or quantity, so originals, prints, photos, copies etc. come together. Each roll contains several different works, meaning that each one holds a unique combination of works.
The art rolls cannot be sold and they are not delivered to subscribers.
Giving the work out by bike means that there is no time for any stereotypes when choosing recipients of the pieces. You have to react fast and spontaneously. Chance plays its part.

In the style of American paper-boys, Papergirl distributes rolled art pieces by bicycle to passers-by.
Created by Aisha Ronniger in 2006 in Berlin, Manchester will be Papergirl's UK début.
