- **Event Name**: Form & Meaning: Storytelling Through Letters
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Setareh Ghoreishi will lead a workshop introducing you to ancient and non-Latin scripts (with visual references to Farsi and Cuneiform). Explore language beyond its literal translation by exploring the visual form. You will be encouraged to create your own abstract letterforms or symbols inspired by your personal stories, identities, or cultural background. We will express these invented languages through collage or other physical compositions. 

This workshop encourages you to see typography not just as a technical skill, but as a way to engage with visual forms, culture and identity. This community-centered experience will demonstrate that communication is most powerful when it’s inclusive, reflective, and open to reinterpretation.

All experience levels are welcome. All materials supplied. Appropriate for artists, designers, and community members of all backgrounds. 

Partial scholarships available by request to info@surelsplace.org. 

 

Biography

Setareh Ghoreishi (Michigan) is deeply rooted in the relationship between language, culture, and identity—particularly how these forces intersect through typography. She is a graphic designer and multidisciplinary digital media artist. After receiving her B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Art in Tehran, Iran, she migrated to the United States where she currently lives. In her work, she investigates cultural disparities, most specifically between the United States and Iran.

"I am fascinated by the way visual language can act as a vessel for memory, a tool for storytelling, and a bridge across cultural and linguistic boundaries," Setareh elaborates. "Typography, for me, is not just a system of design and letters; it is a living form that carries emotion, history, and context."

After moving to the United States, Setareh continued her education and acquired an MFA in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University and an MFA in Art and Technology from the University of Florida. This led her to make video art installation and use digital technology to explore the role of visual design in the interaction of cultural and social issues. Through the lens of her own experience, each country's cultural and social relationships are examined.
