Join us to learn about a camera-less photography technique that uses UV rays to create one-of-a-kind prints. Using found objects, such as plants and everyday items, you'll create a unique print all your own! Materials will be provided. Please bring any items you wish to print. Registration is required. For more information, please contact the branch at 305-535-4219 or walkert@mdpls.org. Ages 6 yrs.+
This program was made possible through funding from the James L. Knight Foundation and Miami-Dade Cultural Affairs division in connection with the Vasari Project archive and to support the Miami Art Timeline project.
About the Artist:
Anna Goraczko is a mixed media artist, born in Miami, Florida, who lives and works in Miami, Florida. Goraczko received a BFA in Art in 2008 and an MFA in Visual Arts in 2020 from Florida International University. Using found objects, photography, and the human body, she employs cyanotypes to create vibrant blue images that intentionally distort or abstract their meaning. The images are ethereal, dreamlike, and open to interpretation. Themes of body positivity, family history, and connection provide a conceptual framework through which she engages with her subjects and the artistic process.
Selected solo exhibitions include "Anna Goraczko" (2023) at The Frank Gallery in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Selected group exhibitions include "Mama, G-Ma, and Nana" (2023) at Miami Beach Urban Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, "The BluPrnt Show" (2022/23) at Bridge Red Studios in North Miami, Florida and "Florida Biennial: Installations, Portraiture, Materiality, and Magic Realism" (2022) at Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, Florida. Goraczko was the recipient of the Hypatia-in-the-Woods Solo Artist Residency at Holly House in Shelton, Washington (2022) and she was the Artist-in-Residence at StoneTriggerPress Studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico (2022). Her work is in the permanent collection at Frost Art Museum in Miami, Florida.
About the Vasari Project:
The Vasari Project is a library collection dedicated to documenting, collecting, and preserving Miami-Dade County's art history from 1945 to the present. It is a living archive that grows through contributions from artists, art professionals, exhibition spaces, galleries, institutions, and private donors.
The Vasari Project is a resource for ongoing research, scholarship, publications, artists' projects, exhibitions, and events. The archive collects documentation rather than original works of art composed primarily of printed matter: correspondence, press clippings, photographs, posters, books, exhibition catalogs, artists' files, oral histories, and other ephemeral materials.
