...all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s… (Acts 3:11)

A ‘stoa’ was a classical portico. It was a site of education, where philosophy was taught openly amid daily life rather than within closed circles. The stoa promoted wisdom as a spontaneous experience rather than a formal credentialing system.

Inspired by the stoa, we decided to open an experimental press of the same name. Stoa is the brainchild of D.J. Ketler (University of British Columbia), who felt compelled to defend the arts within a culture of acephalic capital. His jeremiad began early in life, shaping his academic interests and inspiring this press.

All courses fund the printing of our books, physicalizing our feverish intentions.

Stoa is sponsored by Eikona.
