Adore-Abhor: Writing Other Peoples Words
ABRRR Workshop at READ
Saturdays, October 22 and 29, 1:00 – 4:00 pm
This two-session workshop on appropriation as text generator takes Kathy Acker as muse. Participants will combine cut-ups of magazine interviews and use Richard Foreman’s on-line notebooks to produce a new form of interview zine. Participants may bring images and texts to collage but it is not necessary. There will be plenty of sources to choose from. All other necessary materials will be provided.
Workshop is presented free of charge as part of ABRRR. Space is limited and placement is on a first come first serve basis. Please email readbooks@ecuad.ca to register or for more information.
