ReWrite

Aalborg Aarhus Manchester
_

ReWrite brought together Squad Writers and their contemporaries from Denmark for a creative journey across borders in a collaboration between Ordkraft, LiteratureXchange, Manchester Literature Festival and The Writing Squad.

ReWrite connected writers from the three cities: Aalborg, Aarhus, and Manchester. Each city hosted a four-day workshop with writers and translators, leading to sharing at each literature festival. In Manchester the writers wrote on the city with Keisha Thompson, made the city in a Lego Serious Play workshop with Squad grad Beth Davies, walked the city with grad and board member James Varney, and wrote the city in a contemplative workshop with Core Team member Malika Booker.

Elizabeth Gibson and Tallulah Howarth represented the Squad from Manchester, working with Cody Sander and Johanne Bisgaard from Aalborg and Loc-An Nguyen and Asta Birkler from Aarhus.

ReWrite began in Aalborg Spring 2025 with workshops leading to a live sharing at Ordkraft Literature Festival, and following our visit to Aalborg in June, ReWrite culminated in Manchester in October.
