At Home: a special edition of Open Eye Gallery’s in-house magazine TILT
At Home is a special edition of Open Eye Gallery’s in-house magazine TILT. The magazine, produced in partnership with the Centre for New and International Writing, University of Liverpool, showcases photographs by contemporary Ukrainian photographers with poems and essays created in response to them.
Speaking about producing the zine, Deryn Rees-Jones, Co-Director of the Centre for New and International Writing, said: “The work featured here is by current and former students of Creative Writing at the University of Liverpool, and one poet whose work is published by Pavilion Poetry. All the writers, who are at different stages of their lives and careers, have had a chance to reflect, in poetry or prose, on what home means, using the photographs as a bridge to their own memory and imagination. The very best writing comes from a place of radical empathy: an ability to identify but also to address one’s own assumptions and beliefs. Working on the zine has given us all an important opportunity to reflect on the war in Ukraine and its devastating impact on the daily lives Ukrainians”.
Contributing writers: Deryn Rees-Jones, Oleksandra Pron, Bernadette McBride, Pauline Rowe, Sarah Hymas, Saul Leslie, David Tierney, Anita Pati, Max Gorbatskyi, Viktoria Bavykina.
At Home magazine is available to buy at Open Eye Gallery for £5.
