Experience Portia Zvavahera’s Tanda rima through poetry. Join a generative writing workshop at Norval Foundation and discover how art can inspire words, reflection and creativity.

This generative workshop welcomes writers of all levels to explore ekphrastic poetry – writing created in response to visual art. Guided by the rich imagery and emotional landscapes within Zvavahera’s exhibition, participants will engage with artworks through observation, reflection and creative writing exercises. Ekphrasis invites us to deepen our connection with art, transforming personal responses into poetry and opening new ways of seeing.

Whether you are an experienced poet or simply curious about writing, this workshop offers a space to slow down, engage meaningfully with contemporary art, and celebrate the powerful relationship between image and word.
