A Hands-On Cyanotype Printing Workshop and Open Studio Led by adeoluwa oluwajoba
Join us at G.A.S. Lagos on 2nd April 2026 for The Cyanotype Studio, a two-part event featuring a hands-on cyanotype printing workshop and an open studio led by current resident adeoluwa oluwajoba. Exploring the transfer and reproduction of images, adeoluwa's practice moves between painted objects and photographic printmaking, examining how the human body occupies private spaces and interacts with objects.
The event begins with a hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where participants will learn to create cyanotype prints on paper using personal photographs and hand-drawn negatives. Covering material preparation, exposure, and final print, the session introduces cyanotype as both an alternative photographic process and a tool for drawing.
This is followed by an open studio, offering the public an opportunity to engage directly with adeoluwa’s practice through the presentation of works from his ongoing project, Alice in a Daydream. This body of work reflects his current focus on the often fraught and contested relationship between individual and collective bodies and public space in Lagos. Visitors will encounter experiments developed during the residency, works in progress, and research materials that inform the practice, alongside a walkthrough of the artist’s process and space for conversation and exchange.
