"Writing is Drawing" explores our fascination with handwriting and its closeness to the practice of drawing.
Artist, poet, and philosopher Etel Adnan juxtaposes precious ancient manuscripts with works by contemporary artists and writers, where the written word blends with the image, sometimes disappearing completely. Witnessing the richness of languages and a primordial interweaving of writing and drawing, this journey through inscriptions reveals a universal vital energy.
Etel Adnan dreams that we can look at writing, whatever its language and spelling, "like a painting in a museum."
