Ekphrastic Course with Women Artists

Don't miss this special four week course on ekphrasis with Women on Writing! 

​Starting on September 3.

This course focuses on stretching our ekphrastic imagination by looking at and writing from artworks by women. Ekphrastic writing has a long history, but a simple definition is “writing inspired by art.” An ekphrastic practice fires up our imagination and expands our writing; writing after art, in turn, expands our understanding of art. Even today, it is estimated that less than a fifth of exhibition and acquisition in major galleries and museums feature women’s art. Discover the fascinating story of women in art history, and how exploring their work can ignite your writing. We will look at a diverse range of images from women artists through history and all over the world, and use their themes for discussion and fuel for a range of creative exercises. We will also read some ekphrastic poetry from wonderful authors after the work of women artists.
