DreamingWritingZiningPlace

An in-person Imaginarium of creative text-mapping

Friday 4th – Sunday 6th April *

Blackhall Mill Community Centre, Blackhall Mill, Gateshead, NE17 7TL
Non-residential, with delicious, wholesome vegetarian meals provided

Dive deep into rural Gateshead and unearth some of its many voices. Experience the freedom and playfulness of writing as a physical practice, and explore zines as a way to edit, focus and find the potential of text.

Curious? It’s for people who like to play with words and connect with place. It’s for writers interested moving beyond the flat page to explore text as visual and spatial. It’s for visual artists / practitioners looking to deepen their text-based work.

Over the weekend we will
• capture our relations with this wild, ex-industrial land through words
• explore the intersection of personal, social and ecological worlds
• make either a one-off zine or a prototype for multiples
• form a temporary creative community to nourish and inform our individual creative spirits

*6.30 – 9.pm Friday, 10 – 6.30 Saturday, 10 – 3 Sunday
