Writers and poets have long inspired the visual arts, with many collaborations taking place between writers and artists. Notable examples are the poet Adonis' influence on artists Dia Azzawi and Mona Saudi, or the works of Palestinian poet and writer Mahmoud Darwish, which have inspired countless visual artists and filmmakers.

This four-part workshop led by writers Rima Rantisi and Nur Turkmani explores the productive relationship between writing and art. During the workshop, you will look closely at works in the Sursock Museum's collection, using them as material from which to create both narrative and non-narrative pieces of writing. You will also explore more experimental texts written by poets in response to works of art. By the end of the workshop, you would have created your own pieces of original writing from art.
