Tolkien Ekphrasis Week Parent Collection
Material culture and art add vibrancy to our lives, and it seems that there are so many options in Middle Earth ripe for interpretation! A poem on Nerdanel's statues, a tapestry capturing Nessa's dance, a prose fic describing the impact of seeing Númenor's frescoes, a painting exploring the beautiful quotidian architecture of a Hobbit hole…
Tolkien Ekphrasis Week is an annual Tolkien-fandom-wide fanweek-style event dedicated to the art of ekphrasis in Tolkien's worlds. Its goal is to illuminate the artistic surroundings of the places, people, and stories we love, in as many media as possible.
For this year's requirements, prompts, and FAQs, please visit Dreamwidth or Tumblr.
