Writers @ The Hunterian
Our aim is to draw inspiration from the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery for our creative practice. We believe both the exhibited objects and the hidden collection of the museums have innumerable stories to tell. Through a series of writing residencies, readings, workshops, competitions and a final anthology we want to spark the curiosity of Glasgow at large and invite everyone to look at the Hunterian with a different, creative perspective.
Thank you to all the participants on our recent creative writing workshops.
Update July 2013
After a few months of community engagement activities and presenting our work as Writers in Residence at The Hunterian in 'Object' the English Graduate Conference at the University of Oxford and in 'Writing into Art' University of Strathclyde and Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, we are focusing on the production of our anthology.
Call for submissions – Collecting Stories: Submit a story or poem inspired by an object from the Hunterian collection for the opportunity to be published in our anthology. You can find all the details using the link on the right. The deadline is the 31st of July 2013.
