An invite 💙 Repost • @whitechapelgallery ‘Being vulnerable in my own work reminds me that I’m both unique and universe – my grief is your grief, my joy is your joy, my life is your life. And vice-versa.’ - Phoebe Boswell (@phoebe.boswell) On 17 November Whitechapel Gallery’s Writer in Residence 2022, Phoebe Boswell presents an evening of reading embracing the fluidity of language and storytelling as a means to unpack the cultural associations with which bodies of water are imbued. Throughout history and into the contemporary, bodies of water have carried associations within the diasporic conscience. They are at once the markers of geopolitical boundaries, the space between here and there, and the thresholds of non-citizenship. Sharing new writing, Boswell explores the relentless dichotomy of water. Water becomes archive for histories of trade, trafficking, forced migrations, fugitivity, subjugation, upheaval, violence, and refusal - while holding space for the radical imagination to propose something new.
