Body, Self, Place: Collaborative Eco-Poetics

When: Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Where: Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, Off Campus

Speaker: Pratyusha, Jessica J. Lee, Alycia Pirmohamed, Nina Mingya Powles

How can we write about the landscape in relation to the self and to others? What might a practice of collaborative, communal ecopoetics look like?

In this poetry workshop, run by members of the fieldnotes collective in collaboration with Queen Mary, University of London's Centre for Contemporary Writing and Spiral House Editions, will highlight examples of contemporary texts and explore creative and collaborative techniques for generating immersive, sensory writing that draws the reader in. 

Working from fieldnotes' approach to their roles as editors of Tendrils: An Ecopoetics of Community and Justice, this workshop will ask how we can move beyond sole authorship towards a more community-focused creative writing practice.
