Narratives in the Frame
Scheherazade is a formidable storyteller who brings us some of the world's oldest tales - 1001 Nights. But her own fate is as compelling as the stories - her life depends on them.
Narratives in the Frame is a series of eight readings, each featuring a different narrative - modern or traditional - from world literature.
Readers include the renowned science fiction writer Gwyneth Jones, up-and-coming Brighton rapper Mrisi Makondo-Wills and accomplished prose writer Maude Casey who launches the series with a talk looking at the 'frame story' technique used in 1001 Nights with readings from several classic stories.

Naomi Kendrick is an artist with a multi sensory and participatory practice, playing out sensory ideas through drawing, writing and sculptures.These go on to inform her interactive installations built out of sculptures, sound scapes, objects and food, that when juxtaposed, play on the qualities of beauty and disgust.
She also caries out participatory events around her artwork by inviting people to respond to it, exploring the nature of response, social interaction and creative processes. Naomi has just completed an M.A. by Research (through practice) in Manchester and has been facilitating exhibition tours and workshops for visually impaired and blind participants across the UK since 2002.
