Writing from Desire and Embodiment (ACRG)

4-6 PM, Homerton College – Mary Allan Building, Small Studio – Presented by the Arts and Creativities Research Group at the University of Cambridge

About this Event

Explore writing and research practices that foreground emotions and the body. 

This workshop develops writing practices that stem from the body, using methods that rely on physical touch, pleasure, and noticing what surfaces unplanned (as per adrienne maree brown’s “emergent strategy”). Desire and emergence are treated as entry points to both making art and engaging with arts-based research and post-qualitative methods of inquiry. Participants will be guided through emergent practice, embodiment (i.e., hugging), and love and desire as ways of making knowledge (Audre Lorde) as it relates to creative work and academic inquiry.
