Programme Synopsis There is more than one way to tell a story. When written words are translated into visual images, what could a story look like? Co:created with visual artist Mary Bernadette Lee, this workshop aims to expand students’ knowledge of what a visual poem is and explore how text can be visually translated to create deeper meanings. Using simple typography, colour theory exercises and various printmaking processes, students formulate their own ways to produce a series of visual poems that connect with them and their community. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring great satisfaction for students who enjoy image-making and poetry writing.
