Join us for a watching and writing session investigating the language of memory, with a focus on process, practice and conversation. Hosted by the excellent Broadside in Glasgow.

Films and texts will provide departure points for poetic enquiries into themes of record and reality, fiction and forgetting, emergence and erasure. A series of writing prompts will take us through systems of notation, memory palaces, dissident archives, hive minds and redacted records as we consider how our writing is shaped by and shapes our memories.

Amongst other references we will watch & read together:

Blight by John Smith
Self Portrait in Green by Marie NDiaye
Dictee by Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
I only wish that I could weep by The Atlas Group
