The workshop will draw on specific bodies of water that have shaped its development, while extending invitations to engage with the liminal bodies of water that speak most to you.
Conversing with artists whose work moves through open-ended bodies of water, we’ll feel together towards the estuarine as a means of writing into & beyond ourselves. Informed by critical approaches to the land water binary, we’ll experiment with ways to write with / in this ecotone - moving towards a sense of writing as an ecotone itself.
If the estuary extends its own queer ecology, which is always something else, in excess of itself, in what ways do its brackish waters speak through & beyond process, dis-position & form? How might we conceive of our mouths as each others, in some way tidal?
Our discussion will open out into a reflection on collaborative writing as a process for holding diverse sensory experiences in collective learning environments - playing with voice, tension, edges & mis/communication.
