Calligraphy, the Art of Drawing: An Absolutely Non-AI World

Join our Japanese studies program for an afternoon devoted to shodō, the centuries-old art of Japanese calligraphy, where every stroke is drawn by hand and no algorithm intervenes.

Guided by the rhythm of brush, ink and paper, you will discover how calligraphy sits somewhere between writing and drawing, turning language into a living gesture. In a world increasingly shaped by generated text and images, this is a chance to slow down and reconnect with a practice that values presence, imperfection and the movement of the human hand. No experience is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to make your mark.
