Did you know you can make a photograph without a camera?
In 1843, botanist Anna Atkins created an entire book of her cyanotype photography, using nothing but natural light, water and iron chemistry. No camera. No darkroom. Just sunlight, being miraculous.
This workshop brings the 184-year-old process to the present. Place a leaf, a feather, or anything you like onto light-sensitive paper, let the sun work its magic, and wait. A pale, blank sheet goes into water. Your patience is rewarded when a deep Prussian blue image appears!
A chance to play with light. Puja Das will show you how.
Around the World in 50 Sundays is a journey that begins, not with a ticket, but with opening a book. In a city like Bangalore where families are always in motion, the BIC Library hopes to offer stillness and a quiet, welcoming space for both parents and children where reading becomes a shared way of being and not a task.
Every Sunday, we open our doors to invite you into a library that listens; building a rhythm of return, a habit of joy and a new community bound not just by books, but by the weekly ritual of reading together.
We welcome your ideas and input. If you have suggestions for children’s events or activities that align with this vision, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to us at library@bangaloreinternationalcentre.org
