Workshop: Unreal: Why Magical Realism Makes Sense When Nothing Else Does – Sep 18

Posted by Hungry Education on September 9, 2025

Are you exhausted by daily news that swings between baffling and horrifying? We are, too. While current powers that be may have a lockdown on the news, they cannot define reality.

There are other ways to see the larger world and those in it. Ways that allow us to safely turn towards each other in difficult times. Ways that allow us to tap into our most creative and marvelous selves. Ways that help us communicate complex stories.

Join us for this interactive, in-person workshop to learn more about the creative and political power of Magical Realism. During times of conflict and injustice, Magical Realism offers a portal into unseen possibilities. Embracing the mundane as well as the fantastic, Magical Realism is the balance that an out-of-balance world demands.

There is no cost to attend. We hope to attract participants working for the greater good in every sector. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of Magical Realism and how to apply it effectively in their personal and professional lives.

Date and Time: Thursday, September 18, 5:30-7:00 PM

Location: CultureWorks, 1315 Walnut Street, #300, Philadelphia, PA 19107
