Mona Arshi and ‘Shifting Lines’ Launch - CANCELLED

This event has been cancelled.

We are now expecting high winds on the coast, moving to gale force conditions  by the evening and given that the event requires use of a marquee to make it possible (given covid- related restrictions on site), we cannot continue as planned.  We are obviously also very concerned about the travel conditions for guests, some of whom would be travelling from Norwich and other parts of Norfolk.

Nik Khandpur and the Future and Form team send their sincere apologies to you.

We hope you will be able to attend the installation at Cley another time. It will run until the end of June.

Award-winning poet and 2020 T.S. Eliot-prize judge Mona Arshi reads from new work written about the reserve and discusses her multi-media poetry installation at Cley.

Shifting Lines is one of six new works exploring the interface between contemporary literature and creative technologies commissioned by UEA’s Future and Form project to celebrate 50 years of Creative Writing.

Mona will be in conversation with digital arts collaborator Mutiny and UEA’s Jos Smith about her creative response to the coastal landscapes and wildlife of North Norfolk. The event includes a visit to the installation in the visitor centre, a reading and chaired discussion, and a suggested walk around the reserve.

Please bring headphones for your mobile device if you wish to listen to Mona’s recordings on the reserve.

This event is part of University of East Anglia’s Future and Form programme
