ANALOG PHOTOGRAPHY AS RESISTANCE: CYANOTYPE PATCH MAKING

WORKSHOP BY REILLY A. MILLER - DRKRM MPLS

DATE: MAY 3rd, 2025. 1;00PM - 2;30PM

LOCATION: PF UPSTAIRS GALLERY 247

This workshop focused toward working hands-on with cyanotype to demonstrate the accessibility and sustainability of the process, which primarily relies on sunlight to develop images. Participants were trained to create their own canvas patches by using a variety of photographic transparencies. These transparencies were made from film photographs that Reilly made during the Uprising in Minneapolis in 2020. For the rest of the workshop, we split into discussion groups to create dialog around the inherent values of resistance within analog photographic processes when used contemporarily.

Each participant was able to depart with the patches they created. This workshop was free as part of Public Functionary’s Open Screen: The Forum festival.
