Cyanotypes & Seaweed Workshop
with Aly Maderson Quinlog
$5 suggested donation
RAIN DATE: June 16th
The history of using cyanotypes for scientific study is a often overlooked piece of art history. The first book ever printed with photography was the 19th century botanist Anna Atkin’s study of British Algaes. In this workshop, folks will get to make cyanotypes with seaweed, and as a group we will create a unique collaborative mural made with our bodies, hand knitted nets, seaweed, and lace.

3D Ocean Farming: Growing Kelp in Long Island Sound and Beyond
June 5th, 7-8 pm
Guest speakers from GreenWave
3D ocean farming is a polyculture vertical farming system that grows a mix of seaweeds and shellfish that require zero inputs - no fertilizers, freshwater, antibiotics, or pesticides - making it the most sustainable form of food production on the planet while sequestering both carbon and nitrogen, and rebuilding reef ecosystems. Since our farms sit below the surface and leverage the entire water column, they produce high yields with a small footprint. Our crops are used as food, fertilizer, animal feed and more.
GreenWave is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 to replicate our 3D Ocean Farming model. We’re dedicated to climate resilience and equity, and work in two areas: farm replication and market innovation.
