Lived experience of pain wanted! 

Collective Anthology on lived experiences, definitions and mappings of pain. 
published by Femmesocial Press (@femmesocialpress ) in spring 2027
edited by Negotiating Bodies (@_negotiatingbodies )
Maximum word count: 3000 words, or equivalent 
Deadline for finished work: 15 August 2026 

Elaine Scarry, in her seminal text ‘The Body in Pain: the Making and Unmaking of the World,’ proposes that pain is language-destroying; it resists language, objectification, and communicability. 

“For the person whose pain it is, it is “effortlessly” grasped (that is, even with the most heroic effort it cannot not be grasped); while for the person outside the sufferer’s body, what is “effortless” is not grasping it (it is easy to remain wholly unaware of its existence; even with effort, one may remain in doubt about its existence or may retain the astonishing freedom of denying its existence; and finally, if with the best effort of sustained attention one successfully apprehends it, the aversiveness of the “it” one apprehends will only be a shadowly fraction of the actual “it”). So, for the person in pain, so incontestably and unnegotiably present is it that “having pain” may come to be thought of as the most vibrant example of what it is to “have certainty,” while for the other person it is so elusive that “hearing about pain” may exist as the primary model of what it is “to have doubt.” Thus pain comes unsharably into our midst as at once that which cannot be denied and that which cannot be confirmed.”
Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain 

We want non-fiction essays, stories, poems, art, and other experimental written materials on Pain; explorations and reflections on pain; the methods of communicating and mapping it; and the personal definitions of it one builds over the course of experiencing and/or seeing it.

🗓 Thursday 26th February 2026
🕕 7pm - 9pm
📍 36 Craven Street, London, WC2N 5NF

Tickets are available to buy through our website, or the link in our bio!

The workshop invites participants to push their creative boundaries by exploring how the specific details of personal, everyday experience can evoke universal feelings through poetry.

Using Objectivist principles inspired by poet William Carlos Williams, the workshop will focus on grounding poetry in concrete reality, encouraging writers to explore how objects and textures evoke memory and emotion without relying on simile or abstraction.

Participants will engage with guided tour of the Benjamin Franklin House to gather physical visuals that then will be applied to the writing exercises.

The workshop will include readings, discussions, and collaborative exercises designed to expand their expressive range and strengthen their connection with readers through precise, evocative language rooted in lived experience.

This is more than a tour, it’s an opportunity to engage with the past in a personal and meaningful way. Through writing and interpretation, you’ll be encouraged to reimagine pivotal moments, give voice to forgotten perspectives, and bring history to life with your own curiosity and creativity.

Negotiating Bodies is a research collective exploring how bodies interact across intersecting identities, with a particular focus on disability. 
Through research, workshops, events, and partnerships, we aim to challenge dominant narratives, contribute to accessible and ethical research practices, and support more equitable approaches within education, culture, and the wider public sphere. 

Jess, one half of Negotiating Bodies, is deeply passionate about accessibility, conviviality and care; she has built her curatorial and research practice around these themes. Accessibility, engagement, education and inclusivity are at the core of her practice; instead of being an afterthought, they are an integral part of her decision-making process.

Jess will be delivering a presentation at the book launch of @vveinia 's debut poetry collection. by @jess_ingram0
