Kirstyn McDermott brings some visual art to her Weathering the Future reading at November’s Words Out Loud

As mentioned here previously, November’s edition was a huge night; despite the theme of ‘eroding confidence’ it was a wonderful way to see out the year!

You can wrap your ears around a selection of the performances, including a preview of the amazing work by district writers as part of the Weathering the Future exhibition. While the flash fiction and poetry was written in response to works of art, they stand up brilliantly by themselves. So much fun!

Have a listen to November’s edition here.

Stay tuned for 2019, when we start with a ‘summer sizzle’ on 17 January.

Fifteen of Weathering the Future’s writers presented their work at Words Out Loud on Thursday 15 November, and what really stood out was how effective these pieces are as standalones.

We’re looking forward to seeing how the written works are enhanced in the gallery when they are placed next to their corresponding art works.

Kirstyn McDermott brought art into the reading, folding up her poem as she read it, a correlation to her art work, which employs many pieces of paper folded into shapes and strung together. It’s an impressive piece that needs to be seen in the flesh.
