Against the Algorithm: Writing Group

A relaxed writing space to unpack what our phones are doing to us and how the algorithm shapes our lives.
About this Event

Join us for a relaxed, in-person writing session exploring what our phones are doing to us and what they’re doing to the people around us.

This is a space to slow down, reflect, and put into words the things we usually scroll past. Whether you want to question the algorithm, unpack your own habits, or simply write honestly about modern life, you’re welcome here.

Some prompts will be provided and no pressure to use them.

Bring your favourite notebook or laptop whatever you like to write on. Pens and paper will also be provided.




What to Expect

On arrival to GAS there a gate which might be locked. We will keep an eye on who is arriving but if there are any issues drop an email or message on instagram: @saimasplace

5:00pm
We’ll begin with a short introduction to the prompts and a brief discussion to spark ideas and help you settle into the theme.

5:15pm
40 minutes of focused writing time. The space will be mostly quiet to allow concentration, though gentle, respectful chat is welcome.

6:00pm
Optional sharing of work, followed by open discussion and a relaxed wrap-up.



Who Can Attend

All writing abilities are welcome whether you’re a regular writer or just starting out.

There will be a mix of prompts, but you’re always free to follow your intuition instead. There is absolutely no pressure to share your work.



Code of Conduct

This is a respectful and open space. Please be mindful of others’ perspectives and experiences. Not everyone will share the same views — we ask that you arrive with curiosity, openness, and kindness.
