Between Meaning and Openness
In the workshop, participants will work with asemic writing – a writing style without fixed meaning. That is exactly the charm: signs, lines, and structures emerge without rigid interpretation, yet still develop their own impact. Those who engage in this form of writing will experience a calm yet focused event that sounds more like inner movement than quick action.
