Intensive one day summer school: Writing practice as care with Dr Anna Johnson & guest host, Millie Walton.
Hone your creative writing skills, kick-start your practice or just explore something new with Rupture’s one day intensive creative writing summer school. The day will be hosted by Rupture’s Dr Anna Johnson and will also feature a workshop and talk by special guest, writer, editor and curator, Millie Walton.
Through readings, discussions and writing exercises, we will explore the care and close attention of writing practice, writing as self-care, and expressions of kinship. We will draw on texts by a range of authors, including Lisa Baraitser’s writing on care, poetry by Maggie Nelson, and prose by Hannah Silva.
Guest host Millie will be talking about her work with Babe Station, (an evolving art and research project, exploring the relationship between making art and motherhood) and leading a writing workshop that explores the communality and care of language through collage-based practices. The session will invite participants to cut, rearrange and reassemble words to consider how writing can hold, support and move between us.
We can’t wait to welcome you to this day of nurturing, explorative creativity.
