With Eva Seck, Kunsthalle Basel invites you to a special writing workshop in the exhibition “Ilé Oriaku” by Toyin Ojih Odutola. Eva Seck writes poetry, prose, and for the stage and will show us how to express our impressions of the artworks.
Toyin Ojih Odutola’s works suggest she is part storyteller and part theatre-maker. She uses pencil, charcoal, and pastel to create inspiring pictorial narratives. At moments when words seem inadequate, other forms of expression come to the fore and enable a powerful connection, which she depicts in her haunting visual worlds.
The results will be presented as part of a reading on the exhibition’s last day.
Writing workshop: Saturday, 24 August 2024
Time: 1–5 p.m.
Reading: Sunday, 1 September 2024
Time: 4 p.m.
Registration until 19.8.24 at: The offer is free of charge; registration is required. Snacks will be provided in between.
