DOC 234—34/2

NBK NATIVE CYANOTYPES

In partnership with North Brooklyn Mutual Aid
McCarren Park, Brooklyn

2024

This field harvest was an open invitation to the North Brooklyn community on the occasion of the first annual McCarren Park block party. For the duration of the day, participants were invited to create their own cyanotype image; a camera-less technique using sunlight and iron to create beautiful plant silhouettes. The gathering was an opportunity for the public to learn the common name Latin name and ideal growing conditions for urban native plants found in the neighborhood.
