CAConrad by Augusto Cascales
Vrijdag, 17 mei, 2024
16.00 – 18.00
(Soma)tic Poetry Workshop with CACONRAD
Note: This workshop is fully booked
This workshop will explore how (Soma)tic Poetry Rituals can help us see the creative viability in everything around us. CAConrad has created writing rituals using the night sky to design homemade star constellations, another ritual to dream with crows, and many others, from talking with trees and ghosts, translating Shakespeare’s sonnets with crystals and coping with the destroyed wilderness of our planet.
