The main aim of the experience was to bring a specific child population closer to a critical context, a humanized social connection with design students and teachers.
A practical journey through the technological course of image and photography was proposed. Together with the children, images were generated and printed in cyanotype, a 19th-century handmade printing system that uses a solution of aqueous chemical compounds that react when exposed to UV rays.
With this procedure the children were creators of images right form the initial idea, through to its physical-chemical materialization. The originals were then digitized for exhibition in an open-air photo gallery near the school.
