EXCHANGE OF LIGHT: LUMEN PRINT WORKSHOP WITH XINYUE

By Moving Dialogue

Overview

Join artist Xinyue Tao for a hands-on Lumen Print workshop exploring exchange — between people, materials, light, and time.

Using sunlight and organic materials, we’ll co-create photographic prints that capture traces of interaction and transformation. Each participant is invited to bring an object, thought, or piece of knowledge to exchange. Together, we’ll assemble these imprints into a collective map — a record of shared learning and dialogue.


This workshop invites you to experience exchange not just as material but as energy — a reflection of mutual learning and creativity. Through this shared act of making, we imagine a space where knowledge circulates freely and new forms of understanding emerge.

About the artist:

Xinyue Tao (b.1998, Kunming, China) is a London-based artist whose practice explores the subjective perception of time and space through self-identity, memory, and the unconscious. Guided by intuition, her work is primarily rooted in photography, while also extending into performance, installation, and experimental forms. She engages deeply with darkroom printing and alternative photographic processes, integrating light-sensitive materials and slow, embodied methods into her image-making. Tao also embraces collaboration as a working method, co-creating interdisciplinary works and initiating community-based workshops that foster dialogue, shared experiences, and connections. She is dedicated to creating fields of resonance where deep connections can emerge through artistic engagement.
