Creative Workshop with Paola Peretti (Italy)
Are the most tragic and dark moments in life the ones that awaken deep, primal inspiration in people? Does something have to be radically changed, something that will interrupt the normal flow of things, for a person to devote himself to authentic creativity?
For all this, the author Paola Peretti from Italy will share her wisdom with us. As a creative who very early in his life had to face one of the biggest challenges – gradual loss of sight. In her first novel, "The distance between me and the cherry tree", she tells the story of a girl who was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a diagnosis with a final effect of complete blindness. The real story behind this book is actually the life story of the author herself.
What happens when the world starts to go dark?
What are the images that an author sees in their head?
How is a painful story communicated?
How do you create a work that appeals to children and parents alike?
"Bookstar" gives us a unique opportunity to hear the author's answers up close. Paola is determined in her mission to work with children focusing on topics such as disability, diversity and literature. And with that, to change the world.
