The Prose Party
An artist-led offering and residency on grief, fragmentation, the relational body and resistance
Prose Party is founded by Raya Kassisieh, built around elegiac prose and fragmentary writing as forms of practice in their own right, not as a supplement to visual work. Taking Audre Lorde's understanding of poetry as both accessible and a form of resistance as a starting point, the programme runs as a series of reading and writing circles for artists, creating space for difficult, unresolved material, grief, memory, displacement, to be held in language rather than smoothed into resolution.
