About the Workshop:
In this workshop participants will create sound scores and visual poems in zine form, by mining the writing of others. Through processes of errant editing and close reading, we will locate undercurrents of sound in the spirit of Maggie Nelson’s “Writing With, From, and For Others” and Trinh T. Min-ha’s concept of “speaking nearby.”
The workshop will begin with a tour of the exhibition where Audra will introduce sound scores and visual poems through her own work and process.
Scores invite us to read and listen in new ways. Scores can be read quietly, imagined, or performed. Score comes from old Norse skor, to make an incision, from the root sker, to cut.
Materials will be provided, no previous knowledge needed. You are welcome to bring a book or writing to work with.
Required Materials:
All materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
