What stories do we tell? With what voice, and from what point of view do we construct them? Through an experience of live writing from the CCCB, Helen Torres, Pol Guasch, and Francisco Jota-Pérez will link together a series of live creative exercises to explore the universes and ideas of Donna Haraway, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Octavia E. Butler.

Curated by Inés Macpherson, this unique, improvised experience will involve three writers embodying three different points of view with the aim of exploring how fiction can be a way of thinking about and reshaping our relationship with the Earth, with others and with ourselves, from individual identity through to the collective vision of an interconnected universe.

To conclude, the three authors will speak with the university lecturer Teresa López-Pellisa about this experience and the creative universes of the authors that have inspired them.
