The visual narrative workshop combines theory and contemporary visual storytelling practices and aims to examine how representation, gender and identity interact, and therefore reveals a political approach. It focuses on the creative ways of juxtaposing text (linguistic message) and image (chain of signifiers). Participants of the workshop are introduced to the theory of visual storytelling and examples from contemporary art, and then experience various creative methods to tell a visual story. Going through the process of idea-concept-visualisation, they discover ways to convey their own stories to others by creating an original visual language with various tools such as text, photography, drawing, found objects, and so forth.
