SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy is everywhere– online\, on screens\, through organizations and conferences and more. But technologies aside\, genealogy was everywhere in the 1700s\, too. And while we may think of Americans living in the 1700s as largely the subject of genealogy research\, they were active participants in what was a foundational interest and practice in their own time. Family histories were deeply meaningful for diverse early Americans\, but it was also baked into the very structures of their society through law\, politics\, and religion. From deep research across 18th-century British America\, Karin Wulf’s new book\, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America\, examines how we can understand the role of genealogy then\, and its impact now.

In this hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to create your own striking blue-and-white images using the 19th-century technique of cyanotype. Participants will prepare light-sensitive paper or fabric\, arrange objects\, plants\, or transparencies on the surface\, and harness the power of the sun (or UV light) to develop their prints.\nNo prior experience is needed—this is a playful and experimental process that welcomes all skill levels. By the end of the workshop\, you’ll take home a collection of your own cyanotype artworks\, from botanical impressions to personal designs\, and a solid understanding of how to continue experimenting on your own.\nSupplies: all supplies are provided\, participants are welcome to bring their own objects.\nTeaching Artist: Selin Balci\nMinimum enrollment to run: 5
