WITTA (Writing In / To / Through Art) is the start of what I hope to become a fully fledged research group at UWE Bristol. It is intended to bring together researchers from across the university who are interested in the broad crossovers and intersections between writing and art.
I will kick off the event by describing my own interests in this area and enthusiasm for starting a research group. Participants will then be asked to give five minute presentations on their interests in the relationships and overlaps between art and writing. The event will be an opportunity to share our research interests, make cross-disciplinary connections and initiate future research-led, collaborative activities.
I would love to meet as many of you as possible. If you’d like to come along please RSVP to: lizzie.lloyd[at]uwe.ac.uk including a sentence or two about your interests ASAP so that I can gauge numbers for refreshments. If you can’t make this event but are interested in being involved in the future drop me an email — I’d love to hear from you.
Possible topics for discussion might include, but are certainly not limited to: writing as art, art as writing, experimental literature, writing and experimental design, auto-ethnography / autofiction, performative writing, translation, art writing, ambient literature, eco poetics, site-writing, creative criticism, creative non-fiction, fiction / art in fiction, fictocriticism, experimental publishing, ekphrasis, spoken word / sung performance

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.
