On April 19th at 6pm at the fabulous Grant Bradley Gallery in Bristol, I am hosting an open mic night for fiction and poetry in any way inspired by science. This is part of the amazing Changing Perspectives month of exhibitions and activities bringing together art and science.. This event is completely FREE to attend (but booking is required, click here) and you can win one of several great prizes, including these books:
Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie, A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss
Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements by Hugh Aldersey-Williams
When It Changed: Science Into Fiction, an Anthology edited by Geoff Ryman
The White Road and Other Stories by Tania Hershman (yes, that's me)
I will be judging, and the theme of the evening can really be interpreted however you like - any genre, any style, as long as something scientific in some way was the inspiration. (I wrote more on my thoughts about this on the Wellcome Collection blog)
To prepare for the open mic, I will be jointly running a science-inspired fiction workshop on Wed 13th April, which once again is completely FREE, at the Grant Bradley Gallery, 2-4.30pm - booking is required, see here. Come and write!
