Archiving Smoke: a Poetry Workshop with Alycia Pirmohamed

In collaboration with 87press, poet Alycia Pirmohamed will be running a poetry writing workshop exploring the poetics of the archive, looking into it as both theme and source.

Borrowing works by Bhanu Kapil and Sarah Howe, participants of this workshop are encouraged to engage with the practice of docupoetry, read material related to archival reclamation and resistance, and consider how certain mediums and writing processes simultaneously memorialise and erase.

A list of pre-reading materials including poetry and longer works will be shared in advance.

All fees go directly to the poet.
