I led two sunprinting drop-in sessions at Bredbury Library in Stockport in October 2025.

Using only foliage, flowers and greeneries from the library’s community garden, image makers took us on delicate fluttering wings of butterflies to the depths of the ocean tangled between corals.

We created a relaxing space where image makers could engage with the sunprinting / cyanotype making process, have a hot drink, write about what freedom means to them or draw it.

Audrey Albert is a Mauritian-Chagossian, visual artist and creative facilitator. Her research-led practice enables her to consider and investigate themes of mixed identities, collective memory and displacement. Audrey recently completed her first UK Solo show, Belongers, which explores how Chagossians represent themselves and reclaim their identities while navigating life in countries that have never fully felt like ‘home’. She has also just completed a socially engaged photography project with women from Chrysalis centre in St. Helens with Open Eye Gallery, as part of a forthcoming national touring exhibition ‘Fractured Landscapes-How We Heal’ produced by Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora.
