Being Human / Human and Beyond: Writing With Birds

Electronic versions

Links

How can writing change the way we see the natural world? What stories do you have to tell about wildlife in your area? What’s the difference between a bird’s eye view and a map? Join experts from the arts and sciences at Bangor University for a unique creative writing workshop on Llandudno’s West Shore Beach and Llandudno Museum. The nature diaries of the late Dr Paul Whalley, recently acquired by Bangor University Archives, are an extraordinary lifetime’s record of observation of birds and weather, much of it focused on north Wales and especially the Orme. Scientists, artists and writers from the University have researched on the diaries and the different ways in which they might help us to think about landscapes of the past and present. This free, public event will feature poetry readings, a creative writing workshop in the company of other species, and the chance to contribute to an augmented reality map of the area.
