Led by writer and researcher Jennifer Lucy Allan, this workshop will look at how we write about and engage with sound through text. It will explore various forms of sound writing, looking at how we can translate what we hear into critically engaged responses. It aims to combine practical writing skills such as editing, subbing, and structure with a broader interrogation of the ways we can successfully use text to develop a critical writing practice through research, form, and experimentation.
Participation in the workshop costs 550 SEK and also includes entrance to all festival events.
Provisional timing for workshop sessions:
Friday 9 February: 5—7pm

Food will be provided. Please advise of any specific catering requirements (e.g. allergies, vegan, etc) when booking.
