SUMMARY:A Ritual of Wishing: Community Cyanotype Project
DESCRIPTION:The Exposure Photography Festival invites you to join artists Cy Yang-Smith and Leia Guo for a FREE community cyanotype-making workshop at Calgary’s Historic Firehall No. 1.  \n \nParticipants of all ages are invited to drop in to create a cyanotype — an early photographic process that uses sunlight and water to produce a vivid prussian blue image.  \n \nInspired by Yoko Ono’s ‘event scores’\, participants will be guided by a reflective prompt to arrange objects\, shapes\, and natural materials to create their own unique sunprints. Each cyanotype will become a part of a growing collective artwork that reflects the perspectives\, wishes\, and creativity of the community.  \n \nThe completed installation will be assembled by the artists and exhibited at the Historic Firehall from July 27 – August 7\, celebrating the many hands that helped bring it to life. No artistic experience is required\, and all materials will be provided. This is a welcoming and accessible event for all. Drop in\, make art using water and sunlight\, and learn about one of photography’s oldest image-making techniques under Calgary’s summer sky!

Her sessions are welcoming\, inclusive and most importantly\, fun! \n— \nAbout PlayLab: \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music. \nPlayLab is open to the public with free admission on Level 1 of Studio Bell every day from 10 am to 5 pm. Learn more at studiobell.ca/exhibitions/playlab. \nPlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.
