Abstract

In May 2023 Vanessa Onwuemezi was the inaugural writer in residence with the Roberts Institute of Art (RIA) in Scotland. During her residency she met with poets, writers and scholars interested in the relationship between land and language, belonging and translation, and perception and description. One area of her research centred on how weather is translated in writing, another on accounts of UFO sightings in Scotland. She looked at each with the intent of exploring what they could reveal about perception and the ideas of home and belonging. They wrote to one another in July 2023, following an in-person dialogue that took place at the Roberts Institute of Art Residency on 31 May 2023. You can watch a recording of that conversation here.
