welcome to muse ariadne-- a digital writing-focused but general art club, originally created by xalli, but not managed by hir alone. each week, a new prompt i've created myself for members to create anything they'd like in response to and post on their personal websites. although the prompts tend to be geared toward writing, we welcome all sorts of interpretations, and try to provide alternatives for if you're not writing! if you can't make it to every week, that's totally alright-- this is low pressure. we encourage regular participation, but the joy of this club is to inspire creativity and a reasonable amount of accountability [whatever that means to you].
please read our about page to know more about muse ariadne and how it works!
if you're curious, the reasoning behind the name of this club is based in the myth of ariadne and how she helped theseus defeat the minotaur and escape its labyrinth by offering him a ball of red thread which he could unroll as he wandered through and then follow back out again. art is often just that-- offering the viewer or reader a ball of thread, and asking them to explore what they must. maybe it's even offering yourself that.
current prompt: in the vein of Italo Calvino’s Castle of Crossed Destinies, draw several tarot cards (or playing cards, trading cards, or something else convenient) and use them as guideposts to create your piece, incorporating the imagery and narratives from what you pull
