Multistory & Energy Saving Trust
Jul - Aug 2025.
Working alongside the Bangladeshi Women's Association at Tipton Muslim Centre, This is your sun, is a participatory project that encourages a re-framing of our thinking towards the sun as an entity we are in relationship with.
The group examined what energy means to them, making collaborative drawings that track their daily energy and how this can be connected to the sun. These drawings, alongside photographs taken by the group, were then used to create cyanotypes - a printing technique that uses sunlight to create an image.
Returning to relationships, interactions and learning from workshops in 2024, This is your sun is the second year of summer workshops developed as part of Multistory’s Green Roots programme. We continue to explore how making together resonates with our environment, deepening relationships with urban landscapes and how accessing this creatively can support and preserve green spaces for the future.
