Creative Catalysts: The Lens of Literature

Creative Catalysts is a Midori Creativity exhibition exploring the unexpected possibilities that emerge when artists collaborate across disciplines. This year's exhibition, The Lens of Literature, brings together artist pairs who have chosen a work of literature as a source of inspiration for new creative work.

We’re highlighting the exhibition on the Write With Community website because several writers from the WWC community are participating this year. Through conversation and collaboration, these writers and their artistic partners are exploring literature through different creative perspectives and mediums.

We’re proud to showcase the writers in our community who are taking part and to celebrate the connections, ideas, and creative work that grow from collaboration..
