Workshop
Open call: Travel writing workshop with Ilija Trojanow
Workshop
German travel writer and public intellectual Ilija Trojanow will be conducting a three-day travel writing workshop and will engage in a public conversation with Ranjit Hoskote.
In his travel writing workshop, Trojanow will unpack the seemingly simple but actually demanding situation in which the participants, as travel writers find themselves, and in which they must craft their writing: the self, with its prior assumptions; language, as a means of approaching the world; and the world itself, in its complexity.
