Bfi Workshop: Creative Writing To Image

A creative writing workshop using fiction from life inspired by Anthony Shaplands Only Your Eyes Are Unclosed, 2008 and [pause] Time & Motion Study, 2012.Participants will explore creative writing by responding to the gallery environment. They will take a series of photos in the gallery e.g. an object, an empty space or through a window. They will then write short fiction pieces responding to these images, blending memory, observation and invention. They will experiment with writing from different points of view and play with associations between what they observe and what they imagine. The focus will be on noticing details and transforming them into expressive language that reflects both lived experience and creative interpretation.A limited number of free places are available to our refugee community and individuals seeking asylum or those with Passport to Leisure. Please ask our friendly team for more details.Contact the Gallery for all access information.
Please get in touch ahead of the workshop if you have specific access needs.
