New Writing North at the John Marley Centre, in the west end of Newcastle, is home to a group of writers who are challenging perceptions of who gets to be a writer or artist. West End Writes Spring Celebration is an event that brings together writers and artists who have been part of New Writing North programmes in the West End over the last three years. The two-hour free event will showcase new and original writing, artist publications, film and artworks. The west end of Newcastle is one of the most culturally diverse areas of the North East of England. Its people are brimming with stories to tell. Through a series of programmes run by New Writing North and their team of writers, communities there have found new and imaginative ways of expressing themselves. Their writing holds no bounds. The event will include two 30-minute sessions of readings, performances and short films. In addition to these performances, visitors will be able to see a collective art publication, a series of multi-artform self-portraits and have chance to meet and speak to the featured writers and artists. The community of writers and artists who will be part of the event are: World Writes, a group of multilingual writers who speak English as another language who will be sharing work produced as part of a multilingual creative language exchange.Remembered West, a group of writers aged 50+ who meet weekly will be presenting multi-artform self-portraits.Writers from a creative writing drop-in meet at St James’ Church, Benwell have produced an anthology of their writing called This is the Place.A group of South East Asian women aged 50+ who meet weekly will present اپنی آواز ('Apni Aawaaz', Our Voice) a multi-lingual poetic documentary which explores their experiences of moving to Newcastle.Readings and performances by Safa Muhammad, Kema Kay and Malya Bhattacharya, who all have a connection to the communities in the west end of Newcastle.
