Grace Blenkinsop
Grace’s writing emerges from a longing to uncover. Though often, she is less interested in what is found and more in what comes with the movement of finding. The crack of a knuckle or the bending of a word with the back of a teaspoon. Grace sees writing as an attempt: to comprehend, to grasp, to hold loosely in fingers and let go. She is not interested in writing as a means to possess or colonise, but rather, to sit with and let seep. To let writing make her, and herself, make writing, and the world.
Grace is a co-founding editor and regular contributor to the literary and arts magazine, Parentheses Review. Her work has been published in several publications such as shado mag, Art Plugged and Red Pepper. She has collaborated with organisations such as the Women's Equality Party, All Black Lives UK, Greenwich Inclusion Project, and the National Maritime Museum as a research collaborator and educator on issues surrounding Black liberation and critical race theory.
