Join us for an afternoon of alternative printing and a community print swap. This hands-on event, created and led by our Spring interns Neave Bunting, Cassandra Crockett, and Catherine Teo, with support from the Executive Director, is an opportunity to experiment with cyanotype, learn new techniques, and connect with fellow artists.

Bring a print to exchange and leave with a piece from another participant, along with your own newly created work. Whether you’re new to cyanotype or looking to expand your practice, this is a welcoming space to make, share, and build community.

The lecture will take place in the Screening Room at Lesley University Hall. Following the talk, we invite you to continue the conversation during a social hour at the PRC gallery from 7–8 PM, where Amani will be signing copies of his new book Invisible Sun, which will be available for purchase.

Venue : Lesley University Hall, 1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Amani Willett is a Boston-based photographer whose work explores family, history, memory, and the social environment, often through the book form. His monographs Disquiet (Damiani, 2013), The Disappearance of Joseph Plummer (Overlapse, 2017), and A Parallel Road (Overlapse, 2020) were named among Photo-Eye’s “Best Books of the Year” and have been widely published and exhibited. His work appears in major collections including MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Willett is an Associate Professor of Photography at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Invisible Sun, published by Dust Collective, is a visual meditation on survival, transformation, and memory, exploring how childhood trauma and lived experience continue to shape the present.

The evening will begin with a panel discussion, followed by informal networking in the gallery—an opportunity to connect with peers and industry professionals. Open to the public, with networking prioritized for students and emerging photographers.
