Comic workshops
The photo gives an impression of my comic workshops. My workshop activities are very important to me because they guide me into many different contexts and I feel deeply enriched by the inter-human contacts and the breadth of the topics which we work on together there. For many participants, actively dealing with the medium of a comic is just like an excursion to an unknown area whose options they can now tap. After commonly embarking, and having covered a few metres, I withdraw a little and accompany the participants, walking side by side with them through the creative and content processes.
What have you taken home from this project for your artistic activities?
In the workshops, each group creates its own framework and its own dynamic. I never know in advance what to reckon with, and I quickly have to feel my way into different perspectives and work modes. This has also widened my view of my own working methods. Each time, individual experiencing, which I seek to make accessible in my workshops, becomes part of my own experience, which in turn lets me return to my personal projects, my obstacles, blockages and routines with a greater degree of awareness.
