Language: Appreciation and Creation from a Creative and Linguistic Perspective

Join us to learn how to craft fictional languages that feel and operate like real ones! We’ll study how culture, history, and values shape language, then build a conlang of our own from scratch. Some basic understanding of linguistics is recommended, but curious world builders of all kinds are welcome!

Creating Through Uncertainty

Our objective during this studio is to immerse ourselves in the world of artistic expression by learning about how artists use both artistic tools (i.e. pen, paper, colored pencils) and digital art platforms (such as Canva, Krita, or another digital art platform of choice) to give form to fears, hopes, and experiences. During our workshop, we will look at, contemplate, and discuss a few art pieces that relate to uncertainty. Following this, participants will engage in a meditative artistic activity of their own.
