Shortly after emergence, and at any subsequent stage or growth
Curated by Elle Loui August & Dexter Edwards
Shortly after emergence, and at any subsequent stage or growth is a composite presentation of material developed by students within the framework of the paper ‘Modern Writing and Critical Thinking’. This paper is written and led by poet and academic Lisa Samuels, and it explores theories and practices of writing and criticality in academic, civic, and artistic contexts in order to consider the scripts that organise literate social practices. At its heart are questions of how we navigate, are affected by, and transform our immersive world of signs, and how we construe and read literary and non-literary texts for different purposes.
One key term of this paper is Samuels’ concept of ‘Liquid Writing’, which denotes imaginative responses of the writing subject/s that form passages through a variety of experiential and ideational texts and contexts. This term has been extended to a consideration of the visual, conceptual and physical dimensions of expanded fine arts practice with the assistance of curator and writer Elle Loui August.
