Rhizomatic Writing
Environmental Writing Studio Workshop
18.11.2025 12:00 – 14:00
Location: Rachel Carson Center, fourth floor, Conference Room, Leopoldstr. 11a, 80802 Munich, Germany
Guest Speaker: Ofir Ashery
How can we curiously dive into narratives and forms of thought without getting attached to them, and without feeling trapped in our patterns of writing? How can we let creative ideas breathe and transform? How can we be surprised by our writings?
This workshop will address these questions through a set of delicately built writing exercises designed to stimulate a flow of creativity. Inspired by the works of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, we will try to approach and create texts as rhizomes—that is, not as centralized, “arboreal,” linear trains of thought, but as root mass filled with lines of flight, as multiplicities, as playspaces where density is an invitation to new openings, and where ruptures are transformations.
The workshop is limited to 15 people. To sign up, please email pauline.kargruber@rcc.lmu.de.
