Full event details

How can a poem become an image? In this session, you’ll explore calligrams, a form of poetry where layout and meaning are closely connected, through the work of Guillaume Apollinaire. You’ll develop strategies to understand authentic French texts and experiment with creative writing by producing your own calligram inspired by iconic London landmarks such as Big Ben or Tower Bridge. Discover how studying languages at university goes beyond vocabulary, combining literature, visual culture and creative thinking.
