‘Tick the Box: exploring the intricacies of categorisation’
Tuesday 17th May - Saturday 28th May 2011
At the end of last year, the artist Maru Rojas was commissioned by the Wandsworth Arts Team to develop a project that explored our understanding of diversity and ethnicity, in relationship to those “tick the box” categories that have become so common today.
From October 2010 to April 2011 the artist had an exchange with a group of residents from the borough and created several works in response to this interchange. The works presented here are part of the outcome of this commission. This exhibition is the continuation of the show currently on display at Southside Shopping Centre as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival.
Opening May 17th 6pm - 8:30pm
Cyanotype Printing Workshop
Date:18th and 25th June
Time: 11am-1pm
Cost: £25
Location: Sprout Gallery, 74 Moyser Road SW16 6SQ
Led by artist Maru Rojas, the workshop will cover the basics of cyanotype printing. This is a traditional photographic method, which requires contact printing directly under UV light (the summer sun should be fine), using black & white negatives. The first workshop will be dedicated mainly to understanding the method, doing some test strips & preparing the negatives. Maru will then print the negatives for the second workshop, which will be dedicated to printing onto cyanotype-treated paper.
Each participant will produce 3 cyanotypes of approximately 8 x 6", or one A4 sized one.
