was a recent series of talks, workshops and an exhibition, inspired by ideas of surplus, suspension, usefulness and incompletion. How can stories be relinquished and retold? How do we render new narratives from abandoned material?
As a postgraduate student writing group at MMU/ Manchester School of Art, our aim was to instigate conversation across the schools of the arts and humanities.
The exhibition strand was showcased at Paradise Works, a new studio space in Salford, Greater Manchester, and of which I am a studio holder. The exhibition was also part of the Manifest Arts Festival 2017.
Paradise Works will formally open this October (2017).
