The Writing Table was a series of free talks and workshops held in the Or Gallery Bookstore. Dedicated to examining the ecologies between writing and visual art practice, the series invited established artists and writers to work as facilitators in a discussion and workshop aimed at cultivating new voices in arts writing, exploring alternative and creative forms of writing, and examining writing as a vehicle and as a process for thinking about and producing art. From art criticism, to curatorial writing, to writing as artistic practice, The Writing Table considers the ways in which cogent and critically engaged writing plays a fundamental role in furthering arts discourse, in fostering community, and in upholding or challenging inequalities and power dynamics within cultural discourses. The Writing Table is open to individuals from all backgrounds and experience levels, from recent graduates to writers working in other fields who are interested in the visual arts.
