Solarigraphy combines art, photography and science to produce unique images of the sky. To explore this unusual method of astrophotography, scientists, photographers, artists and teachers are invited to discuss all aspects of the process in June 2025 at Planetarium Prague.

The aim of the meeting is to discuss all aspects of solarigraphy: from its roots in conceptual art and astronomy, through photographic chemical processes, different techniques and camera types, to legal aspects and the use of the solarigraphy in education and public outreach. General aspects of the overlap between science and art will also be discussed, and an educational session will provide the opportunity for teachers to meet with professional scientists and artists.

As part of the conference’s Art-Block, Amelia McConville is delighted to collaborate with Nikita FREEBOID, a multidisciplinary digital artist from Ukraine, to incorporate visuality, poetry, soundscape, digital art, and essay form, combining creative forces to explore how poetry, visuality, and cultural commentary can be configured in a digital context.
