Please join us online on Thursday, June 24 at 7:30pm for the free virtual launch of *WriteToMove* http://winnipegarts.ca/wac/artwork/write-to-move. The anthology, edited by Sharon Chisvin, explores the broad topic of mobility rights and was created with the Winnipeg Trails Association through the Winnipeg Arts Council’s WITH ART community public art program.
*“I am grateful to all of the anthology contributors who entrusted me with their writing. I have never climbed a mountain or cycled across Europe. Nor have I ever been followed by store security because of the way I look, or had to flee my homeland and seek refuge elsewhere because of who I am. But I have had the honour of learning about those experiences, imagining those experiences, and being moved and inspired by those experiences in the process of editing WriteToMove*.” – Sharon Chisvin, Editor
*“What resulted from the WriteToMove call for submissions is an array of stories that transcend any single interpretation of movement. Movement—geographical, physical, emotional, mental—is a necessary and beautiful part of our everyday lives. Everyone's an expert in their own movement. Everyone has an opinion about transportation. But not everyone experiences the built environment through the same lens.” *– Anders Swanson, Winnipeg Trails
The event is free to all and features readings by contributing writers Alex Merrill, Moneca Sinclaire, Yvonne Kyle, Byron Rempel-Burkholder, Brendan McKay, Bob Armstrong, Jim Ross, Binh Pham, Berhe Gebrihet and more.
