Ekphrasis: Writing & Art
In collaboration with the Ulster Museum
Through a series of workshops and discussions, students develop new work in response to artworks from the Ulster Museum's Collection. They have exclusive access to collection files and expertise of the curatorial team at the Ulster Museum, as well as our creative writing staff. Their new work is published, and performed at special gallery tours twice a year alongside the artworks themselves.
This annual project builds on the long history of interdisciplinary dialogue between writers and artists in Belfast. The poems sit permanently in the corresponding collection file, contributing to the ongoing story of the artwork.
