Explore intersections of photography and creative writing through an afternoon with artist Kambui Olujimi. The artist's interactive exhibition at the List Visual Arts Center, "List Projects: Kambui Olujimi," functions as a social space where visitors are invited to exchange their own personal photos with over 1000 photos from the artist’s personal archive. In addition to exploring the rich and vast world of narratives revealed through photography, the picture exchange mimics the way the public shares images online but decontextualizes the exchange by creating a physical space for the giving and receiving of photographs.
Participants will be asked to bring their own photographs (or print them on-site) for a session led by Olujimi and List staff that uses photography to explore creative narrative writing practices. Participants will write and co-create short form prose, poetry, and photoessays from inspiration gleaned from the photo archive. Those interested in writing, filmmaking, visual art, or storytelling are encouraged to attend.
