Writing workshop designed by Roxane Bovet (Éditions Clinamen, Geneva)

Diary, banner or protest sign, rap, blog, meme, recipe, graffiti, poetry, WhatsApp or Instagram chat, role-playing game, to-do list or shopping list, letters or postcards... the workshop focuses on writing wherever it may be found, on the writing you use every day, the writing that belongs to you and tells your story. Starting from your personal languages, we will produce written or drawn traces to tell our own stories. We will bring together the thousand memories, thousand anecdotes, and thousand experiences that make us who we are to produce a publication that you can take home with you.

Roxane Bovet, co-director of Work.Master, is a curator, author, and editor. She creates spaces for dialogue—physical, virtual, literary, geographical, textual, or imaginary—seeking to bring together things, objects, people, and concepts in order to encourage critical reflection on the world around us. She is one of the founders of Clinamen Editions (2013) and co-managed the contemporary art spaces Zabriskie Point (Geneva, 2013-18) and Forde (Geneva, 2018-2020). She is behind various independent curatorial projects, including: HTWW (Le Commun, Geneva, 2017), Feed your friends (ODD, Bucharest 2017), Linearity’s Modulation (online, 2018-…), Vogliamo Tutto (Istituto Svizzero, Rome, 2021), Forget Chess (HEAD, Geneva, 2022), Primo Incontro, Lavori in corso (Rita, Turbigo, 2023, 2024), and Demanding the Impossible (CIRA, Lausanne, 2024). She is a regular lecturer at the HEAD and ECAL art schools and has won several awards and residencies. In 2023, she will open and co-direct the Rita artist residency in Turbigo (Milan, Italy).
