Leonora Carrington's astonishing life story and her brilliant imagination fuelled one of the most interesting bodies of creative work we've ever known. As a young woman, she ran away from a comfortable life in England, then from a traumatic time in an institution for mental illness, ending up in Mexico. For 75 years, she created surreal stories, fantastical paintings, and eerie and beautiful sculptures.
We will look at Leonora's life experiences and creative works. In the second hour, we will use her visual art as prompts for generating our own poems or stories. All writers are welcome, fiction, poetry, and more.
