Consider the making and re-making of hospitable spaces in this interdisciplinary workshop, led by poet and performance maker Sean Wai Keung. Navigating notions of migration and place, join us in exploring how we feel welcome and how we welcome others. Together, we will write, read, and ‘serve’ one another, unpacking hospitality and the repeated gestures which define it.
Sean Wai Keung is a poet and performance maker based in Glasgow. His work is often interested in food, migration, identity and community. His debut poetry collection sikfan glaschu was published by Verve Poetry Press in 2021, and he has made community zines with Being Mixed, the Woodlands Anti-Racist Community Library and more. His performance work includes spoken word and cookery shows with the National Theatre of Scotland, Tramway Glasgow and BUZZCUT Festival.

This event is part of the Race, Rights & Sovereignty ‘States of Matter’ strand. ‘States of Matter’ is a programme strand which considers interactions between art and statehood, asking how practitioners shift our present states of living.
​
Race, Rights and Sovereignty is now in its sixth year. It was established as a partnership between The Art School: GSA's Students' Association (GSASA) and GSA Exhibitions. The programme has been developed in order to create opportunities, and forums, to engage with and unpack ideas and issues related to race, rights & sovereignty; particularly in the contexts of creative practice. The series aims to celebrate, challenge, inform and inspire the next generation of artists, designers and architects, empowering them to have a creative voice. ​
