TasweerTasweer Dialogues: 'Making Cyanotypes', a Workshop With Nadia Dada.
About Tasweer Workshop Host Nadia Dada
Nadia Dada is a visual artist with a passion for printmaking, living and teaching in Doha, Qatar. She is interested in expressing narratives and perspectives through different artistic experiences and mixed media. Nature is one of her greatest inspirations that reflects her deeper vision of the world and its creations.
About the Workshop:
In Nadia Dada's cyanotypes workshop, participants will explore a 19th-century camera-less photographic technique, learning to create striking blueprints using sunlight. The workshop includes a process for tea toning prints to transform their color completely. Participants will work with negative images from actual photographs, exposing them to the sun to produce their prints. This hands-on experience provides a foundation for further experimentation, encourages documenting local plants, and offers an opportunity to engage deeply with a historical art form.
