Asemic Writing Workshop with Palimama
Asemic Writing workshop with Palimama invites participants to take on the role of Mercury, the Winged Messenger.
The workshop is based on asemic writing, where signs are released from literal meaning. In their asemic writing draft, participants can suddenly create strange and familiar creatures and even discover messages; the writing is completely open to free interpretation. Effortless movement of the hand brings out the gesture and depicts it. Sometimes one’s own secret can suddenly emerge, but only for the interpreter. Or would it be possible to reach some kind of unknown language, just like the forms of nature whose message we do not recognize?
