Freja Erixån will guide us through a workshop where we explore visual storytelling without performance pressure, with intuitive drawing, and quick exercises in short time intervals, combining text and image into “third narratives.” The focus is on the making, and through mixed techniques and materials, you’ll get to experiment, explore your own visual language, and even embrace failure! Ultimately, the goal is to discover the charm that emerges from the meeting of text and image.
