“Cyan” the Color of Departure

As part of the Travelling Plants exhibition, artist Lojithan Ramanathan leads two immersive workshops exploring Cyanotype — one of photography’s oldest and most enchanting processes. Using only sunlight, water, and iron salts, participants will create striking Prussian blue prints that capture textures, silhouettes, and layered memories on paper and fabric.

Lojithan’s Cyanotype-based practice bridges photography, sculpture, and installation, exploring themes of migration, non-belonging, and nostalgia. These sessions offer a reflective space to slow down, experiment, and connect with the elemental beauty of light, shadow, and material.

Travelling Plants is presented by Goethe-Institut, Alliance Française de Colombo, in collaboration with the French Institute of Pondicherry and Studio Kayamai.
