By Heart Memory workshop with Anna Barham – Wednesday 8th March

Continuing our series of art-led cultural events, we are delighted to welcome back artist Anna Barham for another experimental writing workshop.

Anna will take Members on a journey through the different strategies of experimental writing which inform her practice.

The workshop will focus on the concept of learning something ‘by heart’. Think of song lyrics or phone numbers and how once learnt, they seem to be etched inside you, like your name.

For a variety of reasons, from the rise of smartphones to changes in educational methods, learning ‘by heart’ can seem somewhat old hat, however, during the workshop, we will consider how the slow and repetitive practice of committing a text to memory can, in fact, open up new ways of reading and thinking.

Anna Barham is a London-based artist working between video, sound, print, installation, and performance.  Her practice considers language as it moves between different material forms, technologies, and bodies.  Her work is in public collections including Tate, V&A, Government Art Collection, MIMA, SFMoMA & CGAC. Anna is currently a practice-based PhD candidate at Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford.
