Word Landscapes – Poetry meets Otto Altenkirch
Workshop on the special exhibition
Let yourself be enchanted by the shimmering colours and the special light of the late impressionist Otto Altenkirch. In this writing workshop, we will transform visual impressions into our own lyrical texts.
We will pause in the midst of the exhibition, observe the play of light and shadow and find words for the unspoken. Experience how poetic stories and new inspirations can emerge from images with targeted exercises - without any experience, just the joy of creative expression. Transform colours, shapes and Otto Altenkirch's compositions into living poetry in this workshop.
Note: Please bring one or two of your favourite pens with you.
With Maike Beier (literature teacher) and Claudia Meusel/ Franziska Schmidt (art mediators)
- Duration: 90 min.
- Cost: €10 per person
- Registration online or at the Visitor Service of the Museums of the City of Dresden on +49 351 488 7272 (Mon - Fri)
