Collective Editing with fisherwomxn

Wednesday 4th November, 5 - 8 PM

What does it mean to edit together as a shared practice? This workshop explores collective editing as a way of undoing fixed roles in publishing and moving towards more collaborative forms of making, shaping, and deciding through conversation. Building on their practice on collective editing, fisherwomxn will lead this session, bringing a hands-on, DIY approach to editing as a collective practice.

Fisherwomxn is a group of cultural workers that engages with publishing, studying, writing, and translation as collective tools for thinking and making. Grounded in Cyprus, their practice looks to regional exchange in the eastern mediterranean and critiques eurocentric cultural hegemonies through feminist and anti-colonial perspectives. They approach collective work as a way of holding shared questions, building connections, and imagining forms of social relations.  

Fisherwomxn is organised by Seta Astreou-Karides, Miriam Gatt and Ioulita Toumazi.
