Sonic Poetics, a zine workshop with Audra WolowiecIn this workshop we will create sound scores and visual poems by mining the writing of others. Scores invite us to read and listen in new ways. Scores can be read quietly, imagined, or performed. Score comes from old Norse skor, to make an incision, from the root sker, to cut. Through processes of errant editing and close reading, we will locate undercurrents of sound in the spirit of Maggie Nelson’s “Writing With, From, and For Others” and Trinh T. Min-ha’s concept of “speaking nearby.” Examples of sound scores and visual poems will be introduced through Audra's own work and process, and we will learn how to make a simple folded zine through collage and photocopy techniques. Materials will be provided, no previous knowledge needed. You are welcome to bring a book or writing to work with.
