CANCELLED Free Association: Speculative Fiction

We regret this event has been cancelled.

Speculative Fiction is a participatory workshop developed by artist Natsumi Sakamoto and curator Rachel Grant through common urgencies of critical feminist perspectives and collective practice within arts practices.

Feminist and speculative fiction writer Ursula Le Guin's ‘The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction’ (1986) is used as a critical frame to unpick themes of feminist politics, storytelling and collective practice. The session will involve an introduction to this ongoing research and Le Guin's text.

Participants will also be invited to share their own urgencies and questions for feminism in contemporary society, to create a collective fiction in real time and explore the possibility of collective practice as an act of solidarity.
