Cyanotin: Miniature Blueprints
Sunday, October 25 from 11 - 2 pm
Estephany Cazares-Peña is a first-generation Mexican-American photographer currently residing in the DFW area, whose work explores documentary practices as a relational act to record complex metaphorical conversations of cultural history between landscapes and people. Using photography as her main source of artistic expression, she documents landscapes that hold a collective significance of Mexican culture in an idealistic American lifestyle.
Estephany was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia and received a BFA from the University of North Texas. As a first-generation Mexican-American artist, Estephany’s expression is deeply connected to the current political climate under the United States' current administration. Through the lens of the rich Texas Landscapes and its historical context in relation to the land of Mexico, her work emerges from a place of resistance and care, advocating for her culture through the beauty found in its imagery.
In this workshop, participants will make their own portable cyanotype studio kit for on-the-go. During the workshop, each participant will put together their tin with their corresponding materials and complete a short demo. Making sure each participant is equipped with the knowledge needed to make cyanotypes on their own. Each ‘Cyanotin” will be put together by each participant with the final options to decorate their Cyanotins with fabric and buttons. Participants are encouraged to bring their own additional decorations and botanicals for the workshop but are not required.
