SUMMARY:Cyanotypes: Making Art with Sunlight-Garden Workshop for Teens
DESCRIPTION:July 17\, 3-5 PM \nEnjoy a day in the sun making cyanotype impressions\, and getting hands-on exposure to early photographic printing processes. Cyanotypes were invented in 1842\, preceding roll film by several decades. Cyanotypes were an early way to visualize our natural world\, and learn the structure of plant biology. Get into the mindset of the first photo book publisher in the history of the world—botanist Anna Atkins—by exploring this method of contact printing. During this workshop\, students will understand the concept of a photographic negative\, discover the history of making and printing images\, and learn about the medium’s groundbreaking contribution to both science and expressive art. \nStudents should bring several of their own objects to class\, such as shiny materials\,\nsemi-transparent materials\, crafting materials\, uniquely-shaped objects\, and/or organic\nnontoxic plant matter such as leaves or flowers. DO NOT BRING: Precious or valuable\nitems exceeding $5 in case of loss\, any sharp objects that may cause injury\, or any\nflammable or toxic material. \n$30 Workshop Fee; MoCA Members receive 10% off \nRegister Here. \nAbout The Instructor:\nShelli Weiler is an image-based artist from New York who uses digital and analog cameras to explore social conventions and the mechanics of display. Her work deploys the language of documentary photography to look at the production of fantasy and its failure. Her previous subjects include made-for-Instagram selfie factories\, gender-segregated ultra-orthodox weddings\, and behind-the-scenes footage on horror film sets. \nShelli Weiler received her MFA from Yale School of Art and BA from Wesleyan University\, where she currently teaches darkroom and digital photography. She is based in Connecticut and continues to make work in New York.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Westport Presents: Plastic People Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that every molecule of plastic ever created still exists somewhere on Earth? Plastic never goes away; it just degrades from big to small to microscopic particles… forever. These microplastic particles drift in the air\, float in all bodies of water\, and mix into the soil\, becoming a permanent part of the environment. Microplastics are found in our human bodies\, leading us to wonder about the impact of these invisible invaders on our health and if anything can be done. \nPlease join Sustainable Westport at MoCA\CT on Thursday\, July 17 at 6pm for a special screening of the film Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics. This groundbreaking documentary investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health and the environment. This film is part of Sustainable Westport’s ongoing efforts to reduce plastic use in our community during Plastic Free July (and all year round!).  \n\nWhile the film is recommended for ages 13+\, families are welcome to attend with children ages 4-12 who can participate in a drop-in art studio class during the screening.
