Waiting to hear from you
Writing workshop 1 February-15 February 2020
A series of workshops to experiment with writing through reading and reflection on correspondence, places of dialogue, living tools of sharing, bridges thrown towards each other, literary photographs able to recount different eras and contexts.Education in the reading and writing of correspondence helps us come into contact with stories and history.
During the workshop-meetings, Andrea Tarabbia will identify some key thematic trends and guide participants in the reading of select letters – starting from “Letters of Italian Partisans Condemned to Death” to “Letters of Abelard and Heloise”, through “Letters to nobody” by Antonio Moresco, “A Life in Letters” by Chekhov, but also “Dangerous Liaisons” by Laclos, “Letters of a novice” by Piovene, “It’s Getting Later All the Time” by Tabucchi, and “Address Unknown” by Taylor.
