Workshop: 'Sounding Ritual: (Soma)tics and Acoustics' with CAConrad
Join us for our Five Bodies series of free monthly workshops exploring creative-critical writing, hybrid methodologies and experimental thinking.
A collaboration between the Critical Poetics Research Group at Nottingham Trent University and Nottingham Contemporary, this series of workshops investigates poetic ecologies in the Anthropocene. Exploring ideas from weeds and water to eco-trauma and deep time, and featuring some of the most important international creative-critical voices working today, the workshops aim to open up new conversations about entanglement, coexistence, resilience and sustainability. Providing a platform for debate, collaboration and innovation, and involving reading and discussion as well as writing, the workshops are designed for those interested in exploring the relationship between creative and critical theory and practice.
Our open call to participate in the 2022 series of workshops is now closed however, you can still join our monthly public readings online. For the full programme please click here.
