Workshop Description:
Every day, we navigate dualities—the public faces we wear, the private selves we keep, and the mirroring viewpoints of our everyday lives. In "Mirror, Mirror: Perspectives From Within" (an interactive ekphrastic workshop with a twist), participants will examine an original art-and-poetry collaboration and use a critical-thinking lens to explore social context and personal identity.
Latasha Daneille is honored to bring this reflective workshop to the creative community at Marmo. Through this multi-layered session, each will walk away with their own great work of art and a greater shared perspective.
What to Bring:
A notebook, your favorite pen, and an open mind.
