Slow Light Workshop: Photographic Histories and Place-Based Storytelling
Friday, July 11, 2025, 4:00-5:30pm
Collection Study Center (room 5092), Department of Fine Arts WSU, Pullman, WA
In collaboration with the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art’s Collection Study Center, this session offers participants a special look at place-based and alternative process photography from the museum’s collection. Historic and modern/contemporary examples will be on view. Through guided viewing, discussion, and sketching activities, participants will consider how photography shapes cultural memory and will begin developing ideas for their own place-based image-making practices. Please bring a sketchbook and a pencil to this workshop.
This is the second workshop in the Slow Light Series, which engages alternative photography processes such as cyanotype and pinhole cameras, as well as place-based storytelling and imagery. See the museum’s event calendar for additional workshops. Participants may register for any Slow Light Workshop: You are welcome to take just one, or all of them! Each workshop is free and open to the public, though registration is required. See link above.
About the Teacher | Keegan Baatz is a photographic artist and MFA candidate at Washington State University. His work explores themes of infrastructure, fragmentation, and place through experimental photographic processes including CMYK separation, physical intervention, and analog techniques. Baatz’s practice bridges documentary and material experimentation to reframe how we see rural and infrastructural landscapes, often engaging with systems theory, archival impulse, and ecological observation.
Funding | Provided by by a Publicly Engaged Fellowship from the David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities. Organized by Keegan Baatz, MFA Candidate, Department of Art WSU and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU.
