3 am: wonder, paranoia and the restless night
Details
One of the lovely writers I work with at Edge Hill, Ailsa Cox, is reading here in the 7.30-8.30 slot and I'm going along to that, but there's things going on all day and night till 3am. So feel free to see more stuff - I won't be there at 3am but will be supporting Ailsa with a very brief reading too, as are some of the Edge Hill students. It's £3.
An exhibition with various activities, slots and reading centred around the main idea.
As a metaphor for our current situation, 3 o’clock in the morning might represent the current zeitgeist: at this dread hour there’s doubt that the day will ever come, a sense of reaching the nadir, of being in a dark place. The mind falters and slides. It’s a time for nightmares, ghouls and nocturnal creatures, of loneliness and death - the shadow side of our daylight existence. But 3 a.m. is also a time for refuge and release, for dreams and adventure, creativity and imagination.
