Members of the Ways of Writing in Art & Design (WoW) network, which is housed within the Visual Culture Research Group, have written and guest edited the first of two special issues of the Journal of Writing in Creative Practice. Rooted in visual culture pedagogy, the issue explores ways of writing in / through / alongside / with art and design in the context of the pandemic. The issue is guest edited by Clare Johnson and Rachael Miles, and in addition to the editors includes contributions from: Clair Schwarz, Rebecca Bell, Jenny Rintoul, Anthony Cartwright, Hat Fidkin, Joanne Lee, Mary Anne Francis, Linda Taylor, and Suzanne Barrett. Framed by ideas of provisionality, openness and hope the contributions speak of the precarious time in which they were produced. Authors reflect on issues such as the relationship between writing, labour and the material conditions of working-class life; nourishment and hope in the experience of teaching and learning visual culture online; care, ongoingness and repair; and writing, temporality and loss.

WITTAnights are a place for showing, reading, listening and trying things out.

Calling all artists who write, writers who art(!) and everything in between: tell us more about your work.

The WITTA podcast – hosted by Lizzie Lloyd and Kit Poulson – invites guests to reflect on why they do things with words, how they do things with words and what words allow them to do that other materials don’t.

Through various WITTA events, working with participants and collaborators within and beyond the university, questions have emerged.

This WITTAfilm was made from interviews and materials gathered at an informal week-long creative residency / experiment called WITTAverse.

In July 2023, WITTAverse happened. It was a week-long event which involved a range of artists, writers, composers, and students.

Invitation to work as part of a research group devised by artists Beverley Carruthers and Wiebke Leister, which investigates contemporary modes of collaborative image-text-production.

Freya Dooley and Cinzia Mutigli’s ongoing collaboration spans writing, performance, sound and moving image.

In this inaugural event we invite Polly Barton and Daniela Cascella to discuss translation, relationships between art, writing and sound, and what it means to write between disciplines.

This evening of conversation with artist Katy Beinart, writer Lizzie Lloyd and curator Marianne Mulvey will consider their shared interests in socially engaged or participatory art projects.
WITTA (Writing In / To / Through Art) is the start of what I hope to become a fully fledged research group at UWE Bristol.
