Writing Photgraphically: Image, Text and Memory Work

What thou­sand words does a pic­ture say-or not say? Through a series of short read­ings and exer­cis­es using found and per­son­al pho­tographs, we will inves­ti­gate how our writ­ing can be enhanced through an explo­ration of pho­tog­ra­phy. Part of our task will be to think through the visu­als as we reflect on our own his­to­ries and iden­ti­ties. We will work to expand our think­ing about writ­ing in rela­tion to the visual.
