ART WORKS: Communal Writing with Connal Lee

Fridays, 7 May – 24 September 2021, 1pm – 4pm 

Location: Adelaide City Library,  3 Rundle Place, 77-91 Rundle Mall, Adelaide

Featuring: ART WORKS Writer in Residence Connal Lee

Join ART WORKS Writer in Residence Connal Lee for 30 minutes and participate in a communal writing project.

Take this opportunity to contribute to a community ‘exquisite corpse’; a project where participants are invited respond to a weekly theme. Each person will write two or three sentences on a piece of paper. They then fold the paper leaving only the last line of their writing visible for the next person to add to. This project will explore the relationship between philosophy and creative writing, connecting strangers through words and embracing chance and uncertainty – themes Connal is available to discuss.

Booking times available between 1 and 4 pm on Fridays through to the end of September at City Library.
