Writing Practice at Place St. Sulpice 11-16th April
Between 11 – 16 April, Emma Cocker, Andrea Coyotzi Borja and Lena Séraphin were in Paris, undertaking research activities linked to the project, transitory writing in no one’s lands. With a conceptual anchor in Georges Perec’s short book An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris (1975/2010), this project explores how the relational aspects of collective writing and the formation of shared spaces of attention might create conditions for the emergence of inclusive in-between spaces or no one’s lands. It sets out to activate temporary communities and inclusive in-between spaces through a series of workshops for testing new practices of situated writing. In Paris, we engaged in three days of writing in Place Saint-Sulpice, echoing the three days of writing in the square that Perec presents in his An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris.
Map developed by Cordula Daus and Andrea Coyotzi Borja about the thoughts surrounding the sound dimension of the project and what it will be approached in the workshop in Granada.
