Join the waitlist for 'How to write a door and walk through'

While you may have missed out on bagging a spot for How to write a door and walk through with Frances Whorrall-Campbell next month, do not despair! We are hosting a second edition at the start of 2022. The second round of How to write a door and walk through is happening Thursdays 13 & 27 January, and 10 February 2022, 6pm–8pm. We have room for four more people to take part. If you'd like to sign up for the three part workshop, send us an email on info@ccadld.org.

The series approaches writing as a means of escape: a method of slipping away from the fixed ways of imagining the world and into previously un-thought possibility. Through reading critical and creative texts, participating in writing exercises and engaging in discussion, we will learn alongside each other how to create new methodologies and techniques to expand our relation to language, form and genre.

We are still looking for people expressing interest in the subsidised spot that's available for a local member of the LGBTQIA+ community from Derry City and Strabane District Council area. Email us at info@ccadld.org with your name and the winner will be randomly selected before the series begins.

Frances Whorrall-Campbell is a researcher, archivist, and creator of text-based performances based in England. Their practice is engaged in articulating the conditions that surround various forms of knowledge production (and reception) and imagining an alternative by turning these exclusionary structures inside out, dismantling and distributing them using the tools of their own manufacture.Towards this end, they are one of the curators of Conversations Across Place, a writers’ and artists’ workshop promoting queer and decolonial approaches to landscape, and a specialist with Banner Repeater on the Digital Archive of Artists’ Publishing.
