Writers in Residence

Each year the Whitechapel Gallery invites a writer to curate a programme of events, considering writing as art and writing as a lens through which to experience art – unfolding as a platform for experimentation and discussion.

Previous Writers in Residence Maria Fusco and Sally O’Reilly present new projects from 19 April–10 June 2012. Fusco interrogates how and where writing is heard with a new sound work featuring extracts from her novel Sailor, which is narrated by a vervet monkey in Belfast vernacular. Aren’t they cool?
