“I Don’t Know How to Draw a Tree” - Emotional illustration & poetry workshop

When did we learn to represent trees in a certain way? And what does this say about our relationship to the world?

The workshop is a proposal to explore together how we draw, deconstructing academic canons of control and violence. We will re-construct together under the trees through exercises of connection, from different feminist queer perspectives focusing on the emotional rather than only the rational. The intention is to look for collective diverse ways to come together humans and non-humans, to learn to observe, share feelings and take care of each other. The workshop is connected to the book of poetry and illustration with the same titled published by Rotopol in March 2025.
