Writing for the Toxic Voice
7th August 2019
18:30 - 20:30 BST
How can words and images be used to dismantle and challenge representations that inherently hold moments of violence and vulnerability? Hosted by Lou Lou Sainsbury, Writing for the Toxic Voice explores writing and drawing as modes for disarming systemic violence. The workshop departs from their new live-performance and research 1667: Not Alive Just Living, which probes issues in contemporary toxicity, right-wing extremism, queer and ecological activism and historical scapegoats including the figure of the vampire. In this workshop, we will work collectively to develop and explore multiple positions within historical, interpersonal, scientific and poetic languages.
