In this workshop students will use transparent objects to create moving image cyanotypes without the use of traditional filmmaking equipment. This hands-on workshop will demonstrate how to clear coat 16mm film with cyanotype solution, compose creative film sequences with pre-coated stock, properly expose in the sun, and develop and tone images using household chemicals. At the end of the workshop, we will splice and project our sequences. Participants are encouraged to bring translucent fabrics, objects, 16mm negatives, transparencies and other materials to enhance their creative journey.

This exhibition is based on studying sand under a microscope and is a
continuation of our project for The Sou’wester’s Arts Week 2022. We
collected sand submissions from volunteers from from January-March
2022, with samples coming from as far away as India and Egypt.
All of the audio was made onsite during our stays at The Sou’wester and
features various field recordings. Photographs of the sand were taken
with a camera phone through a microscope lens. You can view all of our
sand photographs on Instagram: @damaged.antennae
