About this Event

A Ritual of Wishing: Community Cyanotype Project

Participants of ALL AGES are invited to drop in to create a cyanotype — an early photographic process that uses sunlight and water to produce a vivid prussian blue image. Inspired by Yoko Ono’s ‘event scores’, participants will be guided by a reflective prompt to arrange objects, shapes, and natural materials to create their own unique sunprints.

Each cyanotype will become a part of a growing collective artwork that reflects the perspectives, wishes, and creativity of the community. The completed installation will be assembled by the artists and exhibited at the Historic Firehall from July 27 - August 7, celebrating the many hands that helped bring it to life.

No artistic experience is required, and all materials will be provided. This is a welcoming and accessible event for all. Drop in, make art using water and sunlight, and learn about one of photography’s oldest image-making techniques under Calgary’s summer sky!
