Writing the Tweed – Berwick
Join Gateshead-based artist Kate Liston for a creative writing workshop inviting you to participate in individual and collective writing experiments responding to the River Tweed.
You will be led through tasks that invite you to remix language relating to the river, drawing from Border poetry, philosophical texts about boundaries, and river management documents. This is an opportunity to play with methods that Kate is using to develop a film in response to the parts of the Tweed that are the national border. We’ll experiment with words and ideas around fluid boundaries, and listen to otherworldly recordings of the Tweed’s underwater lifeforms.
The workshop will include an optional invitation to contribute to the film through a collaged collective piece of writing. No creative writing experience is needed to take part.
