© Tate

Explore how creative writing can respond to visual art 

What is ekphrastic poetry? Join us for a day of activity in Tate Exchange, where we will be exploring how poetry, through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, may amplify and expand its meaning.

Poetry Workshop, 13.00-15.00

Learn how to respond to visual art through creative writing and receive editorial advice and feedback from Edge Hill University.

If you would like to take part in workshop, please contact Jessica Fairclough jessica.fairclough@tate.org.uk for more information.

Poetry Reading, 16.00-16.45

Join international poets, Niall McDevitt (Ireland), Maung Day (Myanmar) and Lecturer in English History and Creative Writing at Edge Hill University, James Byrne, who will be reading texts created in response to Tracey Emin and Willam Blake in Focus.

Programmed in association with Edge Hill University and supported by the International Writer in Residence programme the British Council.
