Dumfries-based writer Carolyn Hashimoto returns to Cample this May to lead a creative writing workshop developed alongside our current exhibition, The Unearthed by Anderson Borba.

Taking Borba’s sculptures, forms and beings as starting points, the workshop will invite participants to explore new and imagined worlds, voices and narratives through creative writing. Moving through the exhibition together, Carolyn will offer prompts and exercises inspired by the textures and atmospheres within the works.

The session is designed as an open and supportive space to experiment with writing, generate ideas and respond creatively to the exhibition – whether you write regularly or are simply curious to try.

What to expect: Carolyn will begin with a brief introduction to the exhibition and discuss ways of using Anderson Borba’s works as as a portal and guide from which to write. Participants will then spend time in the exhibition with a series of guided prompts before coming together to write, share work and reflect on the experience of writing in response to art.
