This year’s Rewire Reflections will again invite aspiring and early-career critics, writers, and researchers to join an intensive writing workshop, led by María Mazzanti (editor, writer, architect, and educator specialising in editorial practices and publishing cultures), and to create a zine that will be launched on the last day of the festival. Participants are given the opportunity to interview artists and speakers or to reflect upon the festival’s music, context, and film programmes, whether in traditional reviews, discursive essays, or more experimental, playful forms of the writer’s own invention.
During the workshop, participants will discuss and experiment with creative and critical approaches to writing about music, as well as enter into a collective editorial process leading up to the print publication including daily meetings, editing and production, and writing to word counts and deadlines. The zine will be designed by MA Graphic Design participants (Design Practice course, KABK), and the workshop and zine launch will be hosted at The Grey Space in the Middle. Read last year’s Rewire Reflections zine.
Please fill out this application form by Monday 16 February. 12 participants (max) will be selected and will be notified by Wednesday 25 February. Participation fee for the workshop is €45,- Participants will also need to hold their own, 3-Day (or 4-Day) Festival Pass.
In parallel to Rewire Reflections, Rewire organises a radio workshop in collaboration with Radio WORM called ‘Rewire Transmissions’. More information here.
