Tuesday, Feb 18, 2025 10:00 AM
Explore new connections between visual art and the written word in a two-session literary workshop led by poet and scholar Star Black. This ongoing series of workshops focuses on the idea of ekphrasis, an ancient Greek term meaning “the use of detailed description of a work of visual art as a literary device.”
Inspired by the artifacts in Some of Tom’s Typewriters: From the Collection of Tom Hanks, Installed by Simon Doonan and the works featured in Some Odes: Sam Messer with Paul Auster, Eleanor Gaver, Denis Johnson & Sharon Olds, participants will generate a series of creative texts detailing their unique experiences the paired exhibitions. Poets, writers, and anyone fascinated by the interweaving of art and literature – all are welcome to attend, with no writing experience required.
