Visions of Biophilia, is a community-engaged art project that invites residents of Richmond to collectively make art through various processes of photographic capture. All creative sessions are accessible to everyone; regardless of age or skill level.
Seasonal workshops will be hosted at the Richmond Nature Park, and will provide an introduction to creating imagery through digital and alternative methods of photography such as; chlorophyll printing, anthotypes and cyanotype processes. Each workshop will feature a guided walk with a park scientist who will provide educational components that are sure to provoke inspiration.
Participants will be invited to share their favorite images for inclusion in a collective public art piece that will be installed at the Richmond Nature Park, as a permanent legacy artwork.
This project aims to establish meaningful opportunities to bond creatively as a community while we expand our connection with nature.
Please join me for creative exploration of the beautiful park and perhaps make a new friend in your community!
