Nick Gadd – Psychogeography and the City (Half Day Writers' Workshop) 10:30am *IN-PERSON EVENT
GRLCEvents
This presentation will introduce participants to the literary and artistic practice of psychogeography and encourage them to use these concepts in their own writing. Participants will hone their eyes to old signage, details of architecture, traces of the past, and the poetry of the everyday. Inspired by the Situationists, we will investigate how ordinary urban places provide rich source material. Whether you write fiction, non-fiction, poetry or memoir, this event will stimulate ideas. Includes a workshop, writing time and a wander. Afterwards, participants will receive personalised feedback on one piece of writing from Nick.
