POINT OF VIEW is a participatory workshop that will be open throughout the weekend of the festival. Visitors of the Poetik Bazar are invited to fill in two panels on large shared sheets of paper. Through these two panels, which show two perspectives on reality, they lay the groundwork for a narrative. They can choose to depict a shot-reverse shot in comic strip form, or a close-up and a wide shot of the same scene, or to describe something very precisely in one box and then very vaguely in the second. These are the kinds of exercises that can be used to fill in the boxes. When all the boxes are put together, they form a surreal representation of the different worldviews of the people who participated in the experience.
The workshop will reflect the diversity of Poetik Bazar visitors’ perspectives, their varied life experiences, ages, backgrounds, and poetic themes.
