RM supports writing through our exhibition programme and our Archive Residency. With this platform our aim is to encourage new dialogue around selected exhibitions, projects and events. We wish to enable conversations and further critical discourse of emerging artistic practices as well as provide the opportunity for experimental responses for writers.
