About the event
You’re invited to the opening night and mixer for Echoes of Resistance, featuring works by Kalynn Youngblood.
This exhibition presents cyanotype works that explore protest, memory, and resilience within Black history. Using one of photography’s earliest processes, Kalynn transforms images of resistance and everyday strength into deep blue impressions that connect past and present. Rather than focusing on spectacle, the works highlight the quiet power of collective presence and lived experience.
The color blue carries layered meanings, recalling labor, migration, and the emotional register of the blues. Through this lens, each print becomes both image and imprint, a record of struggle, survival, and hope. Together, the works form a visual archive that honors histories of resistance while inviting reflection on their continued relevance today.
Come experience these powerful works, meet others, and enjoy an evening of reflection and conversation. Light refreshments will be served.
