Lit & Luz: Writing with Our Eyes workshop with Marina Azahua
Harold Washington Library Center, 400 S. State St. · South Loop
Turn photographs into starting points for your own writing in this English-language workshop with Mexico City writer Marina Azahua. Through exercises using archival and historical images, explore how looking closely can shape a story—and how a photograph can become material for the page.
A writer, editor, translator and anthropologist, Azahua examines the politics of images and the relationship between what we see and what we say.
No prior writing experience required. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to look closely.
