Workshop: Land / Notation / Score

Join us for a workshop led by 2026 VAST (Visiting Artist & Scholar in Teaching) resident Omer Wasim. This workshop asks: how can we think about landscape beyond the framed view?

Beginning with examples of artists who work with text, participants will take a guided walk and return to the studio for writing time. Rather than simply using text as description, the workshop approaches words as material for making scores and notations that turn to land as inhabited, contested, and remembered. Wasim, a Yale MFA graduate, will guide participants through this process. Free, registration required. Open to SMA Members and SOU Students

Date: June 5th

Time: 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Location: SOU Music Recital Hall
