Julie Anand, a professor in Arizona State University's School of Art and a Senior Sustainability Scholar in ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability, designed and organized a photography workshop at a Honduran nonprofit this past summer. She partnered with Guaruma, an organization that provides photography and computer science after-school programs to local Honduran youth.
"We created cyanotypes because they are very elemental—only needing sunlight, water, and observation of natural patterns," says Anand. "Through photography classes at Guaruma, the children learn to understand their place, to be wide awake in it, and to love it."
The students' artwork will be displayed at ASU's Step Gallery September 16-20, with an opening reception on Tuesday, September 17, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. Sales from the artwork will go to Honduran primary and secondary schools. All are welcome to attend.
