Illness as Image, Rupture, and Narrative Break: A Workshop with Maia Stark

**SOLD OUT**

This workshop explores illness as something that disrupts our linear narrative—breaking time, memory, and, often, identity into fragments. Drawing on historical and folkloric understandings of illness as a curse, invasion, transformation, or test, participants will work with automatic writing and image-making to explore how illness can be represented.

Rather than asking participants to depict illness directly, the workshop uses disassembly and recombination as a way to approach experiences that resist clear explanation.
