WRITING STUDIO – Visual Narratives

VISUAL NARRATIVES – FINDING WORDS THROUGH IMAGES

As forms of artistic expression, photography and poetry share much in common. Both are the outcome of intense honing and refining—the art of reduction. Both can convey a point of view or story that goes beyond mere description. Photographers often borrow literary devices such as irony, but writers also have much to glean from photographs.

This highly interactive workshop explores the crossovers and cohabitations of words and images and how they might enhance and inspire one another. Most of the workshop will be spent actively writing short texts using visual and sensory prompts.
