Image-making workshop METAMORPHOSIZING KAFKA

100 Years of Kafka

At the heart of all good prose are images that distinctly strike the mind. In this workshop, participants will be immersed into Franz Kafka’s short prose to depict his surreal, enigmatic literary world as images. They will choose from three stories, which will be announced in advance. 

This unique workshop invites participants to transform Kafka's narratives into captivating visual stories. Drawing inspiration from Kafka’s themes of absurdity, alienation, and metamorphosis, participants will interpret the story literally or figuratively, turning narrative into graphic art.
