Making image-objects with the cyanotype process
Taking inspiration from contemporary artists using the cyanotype process, join visual artist Almudena Romero for an introduction to the historical process of cyanotype printing and learn how to print images on wood, paper, fabric, stone and other materials to produce a variety of image-objects. Suitable for all abilities, this two days workshop is designed so that you will be able to practice independently afterwards.

About the Artist
Almudena Romero is a London based visual artist working with a wide range of photographic processes from early printing techniques such as cyanotype, salt printing or wet plate collodion, to new technologies including 3D scanning and printing. Almudena's practice uses photographic processes to reflect on issues relating to identity, representation and ideology; such as the role of photography in the construction of national identity, or the link between photographic archives and colonialism. Her work focuses on how photographic processes and technology transform the notions of public, private, individuality, identity, memory, and, in general, the concept of the individual. Almudena's works touch on how perception affects existence and how photographic processes contribute to organising perception.
Since 2015, Almudena has demonstrated and explained her practice at the Victoria and Albert Museum,National Portrait Gallery, TATE Modern-TATE Exchange, TATE Britain, The Photographers’ Gallery, Tsinghua University Art Museum, the Whitechapel Gallery, Le Cent-Quatre Paris, University of the Arts London, Unseen Amsterdam, and delivered courses and lectures for Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, Estorick Collection, Mapfre Foundation, Sotheby's Institute of Art, University of Westminster,Kingston University and Southampton Solent University and London Art Fair. She has also received commissions to produce installations in public spaces from Team London Bridge, Southwark Council, Emergency Exit Artist, Wellcome Trust and University College London, Bow Arts Trust & London Festival of Architecture. Her work has been published in Photomonitor, Radio France Internationale, TimeOut, DUST magazine, EXTRA magazine (FOMU, Foto Museum) and other media.
