Word & Image: Hybrid Text Workshop
11am–12:30pm (Virtual)
Sundays, February 8, 15, 22 + March 1
Taught by Julie Moon

For poets, essayists, fiction writers, visual artists, graphic designers, and anyone else seeking to bridge word and image in their work.

In this 4-week virtual seminar, we will survey a sample of word-image hybrid texts from poems to artist books to video essays to book-length works. 

After studying the works of Chantal Akerman, Louise Bourgeois, Victoria Chang, Leanne Shapton, and Aisha Sabatini Sloan, among others, we will generate our own word-image hybrids, which we will present in an in-person exhibition at March April Studio.

In terms of structure, we will meet virtually for four consecutive Sundays from 11am to 12:30pm, learning about word-image hybrids. From March 1 to 15, we will prepare an in-person exhibition of student work at March April Studio. On March 15, the studio will host an in-person opening reception for anyone in the Los Angeles area. The show will remain on view for one week. 

We invite students from anywhere in the world to join this workshop (but please double-check time zones for feasibility)!

Max: 10 people
$200

Why March April? March April is the season of growth, facilitated by surprising changes in the weather. One day, sunshine. The next, pouring rain. It’s the variation, sudden turns in fate, and good, deep soil that make growth possible.
