How can we use writing as a material for reshaping narratives about art, and remaking our relationships with it? This workshop is a space to experiment with different approaches to writing with art. Writer and facilitator Fiona Glen devised this session in dialogue with Martine Gutierrez’s ANTI-ICON: APOKALYPSIS, and participants will spend time actively writing in the exhibition.
Taking inspiration from Gutierrez’s inventive methods and subversive portraits, we will consider the ways in which language can be creatively repurposed to push against powerful cultural stories. Just as Gutierrez’s anti-icon figures ‘refuse easy understanding’, we will try writing in unexpected ways that depart from familiar forms.
Spanning discussion, writing in response to prompts, and opportunities to share with others, this workshop is not about finalising a text. Our aims are to shake up our writing habits and spark new ways of engaging creatively with art and images.
