Welcome to the new Instagram home of Praxis Analog Arts Lab • East Bank, Minneapolis •

This account is dedicated to the material practices that ground our work—film, darkroom printing, and alternative processes that bridge the historical and the contemporary. From cyanotype to palladium, from tray to wall, we’re here to explore and focus on the physicality of hand made image-making.

Follow us as we share work from our community, behind-the-scenes looks at our facility, workshop highlights, and the tactile beauty of analog practice.
