In this writing workshop, author Deniz Kiy invites you to explore erasure as both a literary and political act. Starting from Solmaz Sharif's essay on erasure, participants examine texts for the subject positions readers are placed in, and ask whether those frames can be broken. Techniques such as blacked-out lines and palimpsest are part of the inquiry.
No writing experience is needed, and everyone is welcome. The workshop works with English-language texts. Deniz Kiy is an award-winning author and teacher whose latest novel, Blokkene (Gyldendal, 2025), is a magical social-realist work. Their practice centres on home, identity, class and minority stories.
