Set to songs by the 1970's duo The Carpenters, untitled sad piece examines the sensation of a sinking heart. In quiet reiterative solos, touching duets, and one wild investigatory burst of galumphing, five dancers respond to the deep sadness in the grain of Karen Carpenter's voice, initiate from the dancers’ hearts, and find tenderness.
Lead by acclaimed choreographer and Connecticut College professor, Heidi Henderson’s work draws you in. There is a humor and light within the discovery of what touches our hearts most deeply.

The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE PAINTING
8 TUESDAYS
Jan. 7 – Feb. 25
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Program Description
New students will discover the fundamentals needed to capture form, shading, composition, and study values with the three primary colors. We will be painting from still life subject matter as well as landscapes. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.

Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.
MASC: Unmasking Identity, Redefining Masculinity
The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.

"Education Is Her Weapon: AFSO’s Mission in Afghanistan"
Lucy Ferris, the co-founder and President of the Board of the Afghan Female Student Outreach (AFSO) will present the work of the non-profit which is committed to helping return Afghan women to intellectual and professional life. The work is done through real-time, synchronous distance learning in the liberal arts and sciences, engineering, and health sciences, taught by university professors from around the world, including Fairfield University. AFSO aims to educate university women at all levels who seek an academic bridge between their current situation and eventual enrollment in a degree-granting institution online or outside Afghanistan. Our long-term goal is to help educate the future leaders of Afghanistan, who will have the education and experience they need to help restore their country, and especially its women, if and when the regime changes. AFSO is committed to recruiting and educating women from both dominant and underrepresented communities within Afghanistan.
Lucy Ferriss, will be joined on stage by Dr. Sonya Huber who has collaborated closely with AFSO, Maryam Gharmal ’26, and Grace Lannigan ’25.

Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.
MASC: Unmasking Identity, Redefining Masculinity
The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.

In 1831, New Haven was scheduled to open the nation’s first Black college. However, White landowners and city officials vehemently rejected the proposal, and the idea never came to fruition.
Listen to how Tubyez Cropper and Michael Morand, of Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, came together to document this incredible story. Also hear from the Greater New Haven African American Historical Society about the larger community impact of 1831 College. This program is produced in conjunction with our Special Collections exhibition The Tinderbox of the Civil War: 1830s Abolitionism in Connecticut, on view from January 25 to May 10, 2025.
1831 College: The Story of New Haven’s HBCU that Never Was
When renowned klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer (last at the Quick with Abraham Inc.) and South African pianist and composer Kathleen Tagg found an opportunity to escape their Manhattan apartment and head to a farm in the Adirondacks for a few weeks early in the pandemic, they seized it. Two weeks turned into three months, and a new project – Good Vibes Explosion – was born. Responding to negativity in the world, they created a musical celebration of our shared humanity. Their first album from the project, Mazel Tov Cocktail Party, offers an exuberant, high-octane mix of dance music, blending square dance, polka, hora, calypso, hornpipe, and hip-hop. It’s pure joy.
Daniel Pearl Memorial Concert presented with the Bennett Center for Judaic Studies.

Traditional Painting with Andrew Lattimore
Adult Classes | Available
Program Description
This class will offer academic training within the subject of your choice and using the medium of your choice. You can bring materials from home to set up a small still-life or use the simple still-life items available in the studio. You can also paint from a photograph or copy a portrait of a famous artist. During the class, students will share their painting with the group, and he will provide constructive feedback as well as answer any questions at that time. We will discuss many elements of painting such as value, design, composition, and color. The first day I’ll review the objectives of this class and I will also do a demonstration of a still life.
Special Notes

BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE PAINTING
8 TUESDAYS
Jan. 7 – Feb. 25
10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Program Description
New students will discover the fundamentals needed to capture form, shading, composition, and study values with the three primary colors. We will be painting from still life subject matter as well as landscapes. You will also be learning how to set up a full palette and how to create a strong compositional design. Students will learn to see and express color, values and the illusion of depth as they take their own photos as a point of inspiration to create their own interpretation rather than a copy. Classes will include lectures, demonstrations, as well as individual instruction. If you are new to the class, please bring a drawing or painting as a sample of your skill level to the first class.

The Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Camera-less, featuring the work of Joanne Dugan, Amanda Marchand, Anne Arden McDonald and Liz Nielsen. The exhibition will introduce the public to four of the most innovative practitioners of camera-less photography working today. These artists challenge traditional expectations of photographic representation with experimental, process-driven works that push boundaries both technical and conceptual.
What is camera-less photography?
It might seem a contradiction in terms but actually, the very first photographic images were created without a camera. In this practice, images are captured on photo-sensitive paper without the use of a lens. Light, chemicals and a light-sensitive surface are its fundamental ingredients. Removing the camera means that light and chemicals interact directly without the intermediary of a camera or a negative.
The technique of making photographic images without a camera dates back to the early 18oos, at the dawn of photography. Rediscovered by the Surrealists in the 1920s, camera-less or direct photography is seeing a resurgence today, with a growing number of contemporary artists pushing the possibilities of this medium far beyond where their predecessors left off. This exhibition highlights the work of four groundbreaking artists who create powerful and highly original images by casting shadows and filtering light on photographic paper, or by chemically manipulating its surface. The striking works on display, ranging from figurative to abstract, represent the leading edge of what is possible in this emerging field.
Joanne Dugan is interested in the visual act as a dynamic, cognitive process that connects people through shared viewing experiences. Her one-of-a-kind images begin with cyanotype or silver gelatin photograms and light paintings, which are hand cut and collaged. Dugan is informed by Buddhist principles and meditation and interested in the physical qualities of photography as a medium.
Amanda Marchand works with lumen printing in which black & white photo papers are exposed to the sun to reveal latent color. Her images relate to the passage of time, the natural world and our changing climate. She utilizes books as mark makers, referencing endangered species and the practice of art.
Anne Arden McDonald employs an unorthodox collection of materials and methods from the domestic and scientific realms to create her chemigrams. Her highly experimental techniques involve altering the surface of silver gelatin paper and applying materials such as glue, bleach, broken glass, developer and fixer to produce images inspired by atoms and planets, exploring the microcosm and macrocosm of our experience.
Liz Nielsen has been systematically exploring the possibilities of camera-less photography, making vividly colored photograms in the color darkroom. Her large-scale compositions straddle the border between abstraction and figuration, recalling simple natural forms such as landscapes, arches or groupings of smoothly curved stones. She calls them “Light Paintings,” evoking the performative nature of their creation.
Caren Winnall is the curator for Camera-less. The exhibit runs through March 5, 2025.

MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.

Curated by 2024-25 Korry Fellow Juanita Sunday and featuring regional artists Carl Bocicault, Tyler Goldchain, Imo Nse Imeh, Iyaba Ibo Mandigo, Tea Montgomery, Saint Phifer, Andre Rochester, Bizzie Ruth, Dario Tejada, Kamar Thomas, and Yves Wilson.
MASC explores the intricate intersections of masculinity and Blackness, illuminating the complex layers of identity, expression, and societal expectation.
The exhibition examines the metaphorical "masks" worn to navigate a world rife with stereotypes and cultural pressures. MASC challenges monolithic notions of masculinity, offering a nuanced exploration of strength, vulnerability, and self-reclamation. Each piece invites audiences to witness the delicate balance between the external personas shaped by societal expectations and the authentic selves seeking liberation and visibility.
