On the day\, you will be given a short lecture on A Yellow Rose Project and we will talk about the various ways women artists all over the country have chosen to express themselves through photography concerning women's issues. From there you will learn the lumen printing process\, whereby you place objects onto light sensitive photo paper in order to create impressions\, shadows and forms. For inspiration we will also share historical and contemporary artists using this luscious way of creating with both new and expired dark room papers. We will provide paper\, scissors\, some objects\, sourced material related to women's issues and the 19th amendment that is printed on digital negatives (for shared class use)\, as well as all the things you will need to fix your image should you choose to do so.

About the Instructors Meg Griffiths is an artist\, educator\, and the Co-Founder of A Yellow Rose Project. The wide arc of her work grapples with the various modes of domestic\, cultural\, and political engagement that structure female experience in the United States. Her inquiries are driven by a desire to capture\, develop and share a closer understanding of (self-identifying) female subjects. Each project she creates\, whether individual or collaborative\, focused on the personal or the collective\, are at heart about the intrinsic connection between self and other\, between interiority and positionality\, as much as kinship and community. Her work has traveled nationally as well as internationally\, and is placed in collections such as Center for Creative Photography\, Capital One\, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Her book projects\, both monographs and collaborative projects\, have been acquired by various institutions around the country such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Yale University Library\, Duke University Library\, Museum of Modern Art\, The Getty Research Institute to name a few. She currently lives in Denton\, Texas where she is an Associate Professor of Photography in the Visual Arts Division at Texas Woman's University. Alyssa Minahan utilizes photographic materials\, including unfixed gelatin silver paper and large format negatives\, in non-traditional ways to express ideas integral to the medium of photography\, specifically its complex relationship to time\, space and memory. Minahan has released two publications with Datz Press\, an end and a beginning (2022) and NOTES (2019)\, and will publish a forthcoming book with Datz Press in November 2025. Her books are held in the collections of The New York Public Library\, International Center for Photography Library\, Harvard University Fine Arts Library\, Amon Carter Museum of American Art Research Library and Stanford University Library\, amongst others.
