Amy Fung leads eager writers at MAWA
- Thursday, June 19, 2014
- 6:30pm – 9:30pm
- Mentoring Artists for Women's Art
This workshop is designed to encourage “parallel texts” — a mode of writing and thinking that exists as a strategy to open up ulterior entry points into exhibitions and experiences. Join Amy Fung in investigating and challenging the parameters of language, and questioning traditional “art language” as a directive, descriptive and dominant mode of formal understanding. The workshop will include writing exercises along with a group discussion on a pre-determined text (available upon registration online or at the MAWA office). To register, email [email protected] and put “writing” in the subject heading. All levels of experience welcome. Enrollment is limited to 8 participants.
Registration and payment deadline: Friday, June 14 at 4pm $20 for MAWA and ACI members
