Workshop Description

A photograph not only contains narrative elements, but also has a narrative ability, which "pushes" the viewer not to limit himself to what he seems, but to extend space and time beyond the photographic frame. The workshop participants play this fantastic game, making up stories by looking at a photo. They bring the silent world of photography to life by invading the frame. They project fantasies, experiences, memories, everything that interests and touches. Then they create, writing stories. They acquire narrative writing skills with creative characteristics based on the content of their photographs (creative writing).
