Writing Cultures’ Festival of Storytelling takes place from January 24th to March 14th 2025, with events at The National Gallery, workshops and happenings across Kingston University, and this exhibition, a centrepiece showcase for students, staff and poets and artists across the UK. The exhibition explores visual storytelling, and how innovative methodologies around language, design, composition can amplify and extend the ways in which we read, and see, a story or tale. The exhibition presents concrete poetry alongside word clouds, abstract art alongside asemic writing, and firmly emphasises what is possible when we no longer take for granted what a story is, on the page, canvas, wall.
