DeathWrites_microbursts_TheClearing

#DeathWrites - Reading and Writing Death and Dyingis an inter-disciplinary and cross-genre project run by Elizabeth Reeder, Naomi Richards, and Amy Shea. As our relationships with death are constantly shifting as the world does, this group turns to how writers, artists, medical/palliative care practitioners and academics can change conversations around death and dying through what we write and make. This University of Glasgow originated ArtsLab project is catalyst and practice-based, focusing on building skills and providing support on individual ambitious projects. It is an evolving group - impacted by those who come to our events and shape our conversations.

#DeathWrites: Reading and Writing Death and Dying

A discussion on text,  subject &amp; craft w/ Elizabeth Reeder, Amanda Thomson and Samantha Clark  about their books, microbursts &amp; The Clearing

Please do join us for a discussion on text, subject and craft with Elizabeth Reeder and Amanda Thomson - collaborators on microbursts and with Samantha Clark author of The Clearing. The writers/artists will be present to respond to Q&As about the books, the writing, design and editorial processes. Both books deal with the intense time of being within parental illness, and consider experiences of illness, mental health, parental death, and various types of grief in ways that weave through and utilise artistic and multi-modal processes. As with most of our events, there's a bit of reading in prep. Ideally, we're hoping that attendees will read both books and come ready to have the rare opportunity to discuss books in terms of process, subject and form with the writers themselves - so that attendees as writers and artists and pracitioners can feed that into their own work.
