Speak, Memory
- to This is a past program
Ages 8–13
What does a rhombus sound like? Can you smell a symphony? In this workshop, participants will learn about synaesthesia, otherwise known as the mixing of the senses, and explore their relationships to sight, touch, sound, and smell. Students will use their newly developed synaesthetic tool kit to write about their own memories and the sensory recollections that shape them. Writer and curator Sarah Brin is currently writing her master's thesis on artists’ games and the power of play in public space.
