Spring Awaking: An Exhibition of Cyanotype Prints on Nature, Memory, and Birth

 In the Leah Rabinowitz Gallery of the Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale 

 March 27 – April 30

Cyanotype workshop, March 30, 1 p.m.

The cyanotype scrolls of New Haven artist Leah Caroline incorporate natural imagery and Hebrew text from Song of Songs, a poetic text with many references to nature and traditionally read during Passover. The artist uses a 19th century photographic printing process strongly related to the natural sciences and blueprints, and reminiscent of the ephemeral elements of nature, dreams, and memories. This exhibition coincides with Passover, the “Festival of Spring,” and the holiday when we traditionally read Song of Songs.

The artist will conduct a cyanotype workshop on March 30 at

1 p.m. in which participants will learn first-hand how to make cyanotypes. The workshop will be held on the 1st floor of the Slifka Center, 80 Wall St. RSVP to Lucy Partman at lucy.partman@yale.edu.

Exhibition hours are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., or by appointment. 

The Rabinowitz Gallery is located on the 2nd floor of the Slifka Center.
