Writers in Response- April, 2021
A 4-day writing residency gathering multi-disciplenary writers based in Beirut in an attempt to produce personal narratives in times of calamity. Over the span of 4 days, writers took part in creative and performance workshops as means to develop published works rooted in Beirut’s contextual reality. In doing so, the residency pieced together personal anecdotes to develop a collective narrative documenting life in times of state collapse.
*Made possible through the Mophradat Self-Organization Grant and in partnership with The Poetry Pot, Rusted Radishes, and Barzakh
