BLINDSIDE & EWF present the Ekphrastic Writing Program. This initiative invites four emerging writers to produce an ekphrastic response to an exhibition from Blindside ARI’s 20-year exhibition archive, culminating in a night of celebratory readings, where writers will share the works created, in front of the very artworks they have responded to.

Join accomplished comics artist and writer Mia Nie for an inspiring Queer Zine Making Workshop. Experiment with visual language and expression, share stories, and form new connections in a fun, supportive environment. Learn new zine-making techniques, from content creation to layout design.

Join us for a relaxed collage and moodboarding session, perfect for writers seeking fresh and dynamic ways to develop their stories.

Join poet, artist and somatic facilitator Shannon May Powell in exploring how pleasure and desire can unfurl on the page to enhance your storytelling.
