Queer Writing Group sessions 2026-2027
Sunday 8/11/2026 at Passa Porta, Brussels
// On the 8th of November, we will venture into a day-long writing session. Just like last year, we'll continue to experiment with different forms that best showcase our queer voices. This time we also ask ourselves how to keep a more lengthy writing process open and queer? In our first session we are not aiming for a fantastic end result (though we never rule out the possibility), our main focus is creating a safe space for experimentation.
This session will take place on Sunday the 8th of November in Passa Porta, Brussels, from 10.30 - 17.30. The activity is free and lunch will be provided!
More dates soon!
Queer Writing Group | is a nomadic writing group that creates a safe space to write and experiment with themes, forms and writing processes that differ from more mainstream writing conventions.
Through a variety of writing exercises and experiments, we seek to challenge our writing in a playful way. From dialogues to collage texts to something that has no name yet... We write, read and discuss without judgment. The experiments are easy-to-access, although we don't always know where we’ll end up. Writing experience is not required, audacity a little bit...
Queer Writing Group is not a course or a place to get professional feedback on your manuscript. It’s rather a playground where you can mess around and experiment to find your own (queer) voice, while writing together.
During the sessions we talk in English, but everybody can write and read in their preferred language.
Who are we?We are two writers, Laika Planchenault and Pieter Delfosse. We enjoy messing around as writers ourselves and are convinced that any quest is more interesting with others. After all, we believe in the value of writing together to break out of the confines of our own minds.
Would you like us to keep you posted on upcoming sessions? Leave your contact at info.queerwritinggroup@gmail.com.
The Queer Writing Group is hosted by Laïka Planchenault and Pieter Delfosse, in collaboration with RITCS School of arts, Passa Porta and VONK & Zonen.
It is also part of the RITCS research project Writing queerly: Developing an authentic writing voice by playfully breaking the rules, by Pieter Delfosse.
