2024 | Creative Writing & Mindfulness Workshop
January 16 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
FreeCreative Writing & Mindfulness Workshop:
As part of the National Day of Racial Healing 2024, Cameron McGill, Colin Criss, and additional creative writing faculty will lead an ekphrastic writing workshop in response to current museum exhibitions. An ekphrastic poem (from ekphrasis, Greek for “description”) imaginatively engages with, responds to, or reflects upon a work of art. Current exhibitions include Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation and Here in a Homemade Forest: Common Reading Connections. The workshop will begin with a mindfulness session with Trymaine Gaither.
NOTE: Participants will have the option to share their writing later in the day in the museum’s Pavilion Gallery at Writers Give Voice: Reading and Open Mic. For additional museum programs on the National Day of Racial Healing 2024, please see our upcoming events page.
Location
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.
