Writers’ Salon: Writing to the edge of reality

Fiction has an uncanny ability to defamiliarise, turning ordinary streets and locations into sites of strangeness and revelation. In this intimate evening workshop, surrealist writer Raeden Richardson will traverse writing that constantly defies easy categorisation, drawing upon visual art to help you develop a new vocabulary for writing to the edge of reality.
