ADD TO GOOGLE CALENDAR

This workshop will examine analog mediums that have historically been used as vehicles to subvert state dominance. We will review and discuss the inherent values of resistance within analog photographic processes when used contemporarily. The remainder of the workshop will focus toward working hands-on with cyanotype to demonstrate the accessibility and sustainability of the process, which primarily relies on sunlight to develop images. Participants will be trained to create their own canvas patches using a variety of photographic transparencies. These transparencies will contain imagery that share themes of protest and resistance that were originally documented on analog film. Each participant will depart with patches they have created. 

Admission is free with registration.

REILLY ADELINE MILLER

Reilly Adeline Miller (any pronouns) is a 26 year old, multidisciplinary artist-educator-schemer that lives in their beloved south Minneapolis. Reilly holds a bachelor’s degree in Gender, Women, and Sexuality studies with a minor in [photographic and ceramic] art from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Reilly organizes intimate public activations above— and under— ground. In January of 2020, they co-founded an educational analog project, DRKRM MPLS, in Southeast Minneapolis. Now they serve as the community engagement and studio coordinator and teach fellow, emerging artists how to hand develop and process their own analog film. Reilly has spent significant time in West Germany, in the cities of Cologne and Münster, learning from mentors and friends how to throw clay, survive within global beaurocratic systems, and how to love with humility. If she is not DJing in her bedroom, making new images, or shaping clay, she might be trying to finish a book or imagine futures of collaboration and interdependency.
