I’ve received ACE funding to support a residency at the BHL and Five Leaves Bookshop in Nottigham City Centre – to explore and consider the role of these places on the lives of their users. The funding will enable me to work alongside staff, library members, customers and visitors, creating new works in response to research.
TIn getting started I held a free workshop at BHL yesterday, using the Alan Sillitoe and the Sundial Society archives as catalysts. We talked about the idea of books, bookshop and libraries being Refuges and how using the words of others can help us say something we cant.
