An Introduction…
Critical Writing Collective aims to promote critical discussion around regional contemporary art and performance activity, create a platform for experimental art writing and support artists and writers through events, publications, projects, opportunities and an open network of contacts.
The collective came about after we met while taking part in a writing project in Berlin, organised by Open Dialogues. Being from Leeds and Sheffield, we noticed a lack of space for dialogue around activity in our respective and neighbouring cities and connections across the region.
Over six meetings we met with artists, writers, curators, educators and representatives of organisations and institutions, and used the this research to develop a course of action for the collective.Since this time we have established stronger connections, taken part in rlevant projects, innitiated our own projects and produced a pilot publication, and are now developing plans for the year ahead.
We’ll be updating very soon with details of our travels!
Until then you might want to watch this video in which Charlotte talks about the collective with Axis.
