Inspiring new writing with European art and culture
This workshop, part of the Writing as Resistance Festival 2025 and delivered by Europeana Foundation's Editorial Adviser Beth Daley, uses inspiration from Europeana.eu to guide participants writing.
Writers’ HQ has partnered with Europeana for an ekphrastic writing workshop using inspiration from Europeana.eu, a practical, accessible and free online resource, funded by the European Commission.
Once you start to explore it, you’ll find more ways than you can count to kickstart your stories or enhance your writing practice. In this workshop, you will find how to dig deep into art, books, films and music from thousands of cultural institutions across Europe and use those to inspire and inform your work. The workshop will look at how to use the artefacts from Europeana.eu to get deeper into your stories, and we’ll write together during guided sprints.
