DATE: Wednesday, July 22nd FORMAT: Online - Live
TIME: 4 PM (Spanish time)
Spanish
DURATION: 2-3 hours
Plantografìas, Acuagramas y Billetogramas
In this workshop, we will explore creating photographic images from leaves, plants, and other organic materials. We will work in the darkroom with photosensitive paper, an enlarger, black and white chemicals, and manual techniques such as brushwork, swab application, and double exposures. Through light, direct contact, and chemical intervention, each participant will create unique images where plant matter is transformed into a trace, texture, and photographic composition.​
Film Bleaching:
Reworking the Archive
In this workshop, participants will explore film bleaching as an experimental technique for transforming processed negatives. Working from their own photographic archives, they will learn how chemical intervention can modify contrast, erase or reveal details, and open up new visual and conceptual possibilities. Through pre-recorded, step-by-step video tutorials, the workshop introduces the fundamentals of working safely with both color and black-and-white negatives, leaving room for experimentation, intuition, and chance. Rather than striving for technical perfection, bleaching is approached as a way to edit and rewrite the image, allowing photographs from the past to evolve into something new.

Experimental Exhibitions: Image to Object to Installation
This workshop focuses on photographic assembly and installation, exploring how to transform a photographic project into an exhibition, from wall presentation to objects, installations, texts, promotion and the relationship with the exhibition space.
Finding a Canvas: Polaroid Emulsion Lift and Cyanotype
Discover the creative possibilities of experimental photography through Polaroid Emulsion Lift and Cyanotype. In this demonstration workshop, participants will be introduced to two highly tactile and expressive processes that transform the photographic image into something physical, fragile, and unexpected. The session combines a brief theoretical introduction, live demonstrations, and a reflection on the materiality of photography, inviting participants to move beyond the flat image and explore paper, fabric, objects, and found materials as creative surfaces. It is an invitation to see photography as an open field of experimentation, where image, gesture, surface, and chance converge.

An Introduction to Chrysotype:
Printing in Gold
Chrysotype is a photographic printing process that uses gold salts to create images with a wide and subtle range of colors, including shades of pink, violet, blue, and green. Originally developed by Sir John Herschel in 1842, the technique was later refined by Mike Ware, who made it more stable and suitable for contemporary artistic practice. Today, chrysotype offers a unique way to connect digital image creation with historical photographic processes and material experimentation. This workshop introduces participants to the main stages of the process: creating digital negatives, preparing the paper, mixing and applying the chemicals , and understanding how humidity affects the final color of the print. Through this technique, participants will explore how image, light, metal, paper, and environmental conditions can come together to produce experimental photographic works.
