Solarigraphy Meeting

In 2020 there were 20 years from the beginning of the Solarigraphy project (Solaris 2000) by Sławomir Decyk, Paweł Kula, and Diego López Calvín. It is time to look back to evaluate achievements as well as to look into the future. We would like to invite solarigraphers with any level of experience, teachers, scientists, and all interested people to participate in the meeting “Solarigraphy: Between Science, Art, and Education”. The aim is to discuss all aspects of the solarigraphy: from its roots in conceptual art and astronomy, through photographic chemical processes, different techniques, and camera types to legal aspects of the solarigraphy and the use of the solarigraphy in education and public outreach. Also, we plan to organize the participants' collective exhibition. We hope that the meeting will be a place for exchange knowledge and ideas between participants and will become a milestone in the history of the Solarigraphy project.

The official language of the Meeting will be English and Czech.

The meeting will be held in accordance with government regulations. More details will be published in the next future.
