Death of workers whilst building skyscrapers
Rosie Roberts will be launching her chapbook Dialogues of A published by Death of workers whilst building skyscrapers publishing press. Rosie Roberts lives in Glasgow with her partner, toddler and mad dog Hamish, she works as an artist, writer, editor, tour guide, baker and nanny. Her work is motivated by questioning: How can we build a collective consciousness of care via experimental work? What is the body-work of solidarity (socialism, abolition and intersectional feminism) and how can we document and share this effectively? What does it mean to fall … [in and out of] context? Exploring how narratives political, fictional, enviromental and personal affect and interact with an audience and build a collective motivation to listen, un/learn and act with each other.
