3 hour multilingual workshop together with Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh.

This workshop will use a variety of tools and exercises inspired by the Arandora Star, an ocean liner that was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland in 1940. Participants will be given the opportunity to reflect and compose responses across a range of themes and genres, and languages. A stroll along the shoreline will provide us with material for the imagination. It is hoped that an anthology will be published featuring work from the workshop.

This event is free but booking is required at https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/of-sea-and-sod-a-generative-writing-workshop-arising-from-the-arandora-star/

Dedicated to the area around our home in Knockvologan on the southwest tip of Mull, Quavering Tongues explores this natural environment as a culture-generating mesh of entanglements.

Through use of multiple disciplines and sensory techniques, we carefully tune into the delicate intricacies of land, sea and their inhabitants both past and present. In doing so, we try to reveal hidden motives that inspire speculative scenarios for a future where we acknowledge the complex and symbiotic relationships that exist between the natural world and us.
