FREE Video Conference!Meet Jayne Hinds Bidaut, a fine art photographer well-known for mastering the early photographic tintype process. Her work is widely exhibited and is collected by corporate and private collectors as well as museums, including the Amon Carter Museum, which is exhibiting some of her work this fall.
The artist is also the director of the Kageno Kids Art and Cultural Exchange, an outreach program of Kageno Worldwide, an international not-for-profit community development organization currently operating in Kenya and Rwanda. Kageno Kids is a creative educational program, one facet of which utilizes art-making as an avenue of communication between children in these impoverished areas and children in intercity communities within the United States.
During this videoconference with Bidaut, students will view the artist’s work and receive an introduction to the tintype and photogram process. Participants will also see examples of the life-size cyanotypes made by the children in the Kageno Kids program in Africa. Finally, students will see how Bidaut has used her art to empower and educate children, allowing them to make cross-cultural connections that they otherwise would have no opportunity to experience.
