Writing Workshop
Inspired by Yuko Mohri’s exhibition, this workshop invites participants to explore what ordinary objects might reveal when we look beyond the visible. Mohri’s work draws attention to unseen relationships — between decay and transformation, matter and sound, time and perception. In this generative writing workshop, we’ll use surrealist poetry and imaginative prompts to enter that same territory on the page.
Together, we’ll read poems & prose that open strange and surprising connections between objects, then write from images, objects, sensations, and associations inspired by the exhibition. Participants will be encouraged to move past literal description and into surprise, mystery, and transformation — discovering how writing can make the invisible felt.
No prior writing experience is required. This workshop is for anyone curious about art, poetry, imagination, and the hidden life of the world around us.
Workshops @ The Bass are created for adults ages 21+ at any skill level. All materials are provided.
The class is $10 for museum members up to the Affiliate level, free for Affiliate members and above, and $20 for nonmembers.
