LAS is thrilled to present LASwrites_IRL, the first of many evenings dedicated to literary exchange in all its forms. Through readings, performances, images, and sound, the programme gives a platform to unsettled, experimental and conjectural narratives. 

LASwrites_IRL is part of our ongoing project, LAS Writes, that aims to broaden the discourse on artistic production beyond the visible and the informative. Progressing through an open-call basis, the project welcomes written contributions in all creative forms. It emancipates writers from traditional publishing formats, embracing prototypes, the unfinished, and alternative formats of knowledge production.

Within the existing ecosystem of traditional publishers and editorial projects, LAS Writes aims to produce something on the edge of the acceptable. It is not a model of self-publishing, but a curatorial platform that employs voice as a form of publication.

Each chapter culminates in an event hosted in our gallery space, showcasing our most recent contributions, followed by an open mic that demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the cross-pollination of ideas.

LASwrites_IRL runs adjacent to but independent of exhibition programming.
