About this event

Feminist Writing With(in) Machines

Unlike AI, printing press type-setting can be physically dismantled - no trace remaining, a one-off occurrence, Yet, both the press and AI areformed of parts that can be reconstituted into endless figurations.

This workshop series will be a chance to explore some of these tensions, and disrupt the binary between the digital and analog.

9/05 13.00-15.00 Poetry Writing with Open Source AI

Deanna Rodger will lead a poetry writing workshop exploring themes of temporality, speculative worlds, transformation and glitches as we write with Open Source AI at the Pervasive Media Studio

12/06 10.00-15.00 Printing Collaborative Poems

Together, we will print our collaborative poems and reflect on what this remediation may mean for our writing practices with AI at the Bristol Common Press. There will be a lunch included in this with gf and vegan options.


No creative writing or print experience necessary. The ticket you purchase includes a space for both workshops.

This is a intersectional space welcoming of all genders that is decidely anti-racist and anti-ableist with no room for -isms such as; classism, misogyny, ageism, religious discrimination or any other form of discrimination and oppression.

In partnership with the Centre for Creative Technologies and Bristol Common Press.
