Symposium: Talking Place

BUY TICKETS

Women Talk Place presents two days of conversation about place and creativity.

Friday 9 September 9.30am — 5pm

See the full programme here.

A day of discussions and presentations about creativity and place from a wide variety of perspectives; from mapping and walking to community spaces, haunted and spiritual places, and the way we express belonging and longing.

7.30pm Open Mic with Verbose

Saturday 10 September 9.30am — 5pm

See the full programme here.

This literary day brings together some of the most creative writers and rigorous thinkers in place writing. We have novelists and poets, as well as authors exploring the politics of belonging, the magic of connection and the way we journey through place as we journey through our lives.

Friday 9th September — £45

Saturday 10th September — £45

Both days — £80
