The World Is Reset Every Night Meaning Your Build Will Always Be Temporary is a project by Potato Press, a group of artists and writers* interested in collective and experimental ways of making texts and images.
* Lesley Guy, Kate Liston and Tom O’Sullivan with contributions from Sarah Jackson and Leah Millar.
The content of the website was generated through writing prompts, spoken improvisation and collaborative drawing, all in response to the site and context of Jarrow Hall (a reconstruction of an anglo-saxon village and museum to the Venerable Bede in South Tyneside). We shared, played and stories were made. Thank you to everyone who contributed by taking part in the open workshop held at Jarrow Hall in May 2025.
The website was designed by Ashleigh Armitage with type set in Karrick. The project was kindly supported by Jarrow Hall and Northumbria University with funding for the website provided by WITTA at the University of West of England.

A new project supported by WITTA to explore experimental ways of making texts and images. The project is devised by Potato Press, formed of Lesley Guy, Kate Liston and Tom O’Sullivan and with contributions from Sarah Jackson and Leah Millar.

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.

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.

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.
