“I began writing about power because I had so little”
O. Butler
Coinciding with A---Z's curation of Gallery 31 exhibition The Voices of A Tempest, the exploratory platform's founder Anne Duffau leads a writing and sound workshop for Grounding Practice, exploring world building through speculative and sci-fi fictions. Participants will collectively build a short story, recording from phones and utilising online effects and sound libraries.
Thinking together of alternative paths, spaces, and possibilities, the group will start to form a potential world - a landscape, a home, a community, a group of friends, a family or a chosen one, a character - to ask how we might think of options beyond pre-conceived ideas and stereotypes, and question what could exist outside of or after capitalism - could it be re-imagined?
You are encouraged to bring something to take notes in, and have a phone to hand to record voice memos. If participants have a laptop/tablet + headphones to download free audio software Audacity, this is also recommended for the session.
