current projects

In its fifth year conFAB will focus on four main initiatives:

inter-school poetry slam:
Now in its fifth year this highly successful project has been commissioned by the Aye Write Festival and five schools from across Glasgow will compete for the title of Inter School Poetry Slam Master 2008.

chromatic voices:
Following on from the success of the Voices Project conFAB is continuing to support the development of the group. They will be appearing with Paragon Ensemble and Streetlevel Photoworks for a multi arts disciplinary event as part of Refugee Week 2008. Additionally we are developing a film project that will explore human rights issues.

hidden city:
This is the fourth in this highly success full outdoor event celebrating the hidden parts of Glasgow City Centre. Eight poets from across Scotland will be commissioned to create work based around a part of Glasgow City Centre that usually goes unnoticed. The audience will meet at a specified time and place and be taken to the location. Supported by Glasgow City Council.

stepping stones:
A year long project aimed at young writers from across Glasgow who will have the opportunity to take part in a series of workshops exploring different aspects of writing from journalism to film scripts to novel writing. Supported by Glasgow City Council.

hidden tramway 1: conFAB has teamed up with the Tramway to bring it's highly success full outdoor event celebrating the hidden parts of Glasgow City Centre inside to explore the hidden sites within the Tramway building. Eight poets working in a range of languages from Urdu to Polish to Glaswegian will create poems inspired by specific sites within the Tramway building that are unusually passed by unnoticed. The audience will meet at the entrance to the Tramway and then taken on a tour of the building.
