Throughout history, bodies of water have been woven into narratives and stories. Yet, water itself carries languages within. This writing workshop invites participants to dedicate themselves to their own writing. In literary short forms, we seek answers: What does water tell us? What can we learn from landscapes and bodies of water? How can we, in the spirit of Nature Writing, find a language to describe water? How can we approach our fluid relatives through writing, and what can we learn from them?

The workshop series PEAToresk: Artistic perspectives on the drained mire meadows near Greifswald is offered in cooperation with the projects MoKKa and Sensing Peat. It takes place within the framework of the 25th anniversary of the Michael Succow Foundation and the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich. Our partners are the Greifswald Mire Centre, the Protestant Parish of St. Nikolai, and the Mire Manager of the City of Greifswald.
