Story Exchange Walls are a community writing project that invites the sharing of public writing/visual response to targeted written prompts. The pop-up walls started in 2022 as one-day stand-alone displays or multi-day installations in public spaces, with themes of “What’s it like to be you?” and “Tell us a story about water” for example.

More recently we are investigating how the walls may contribute to a new dialogue between writers at SpeakOut’s weekly workshops and the wider public, through displays in public spaces like libraries and museums. Stay tuned to this page to see how these writing collaborations develop!
