404 Ink are pleased to reveal the full line up for upcoming 2024 anthology Gathering, edited by Durre Shahwar and Nasia Sarwar-Skuse, partially funded by Books Council of Wales (Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru). Gathering brings together essays by women of colour across the UK in writing about their relationships with nature, including neurodiversity, mental health, academia, colonialism, whiteness, music, hiking and more.
Writing about nature has long been dominated by male, white, middle-class writers and Gathering carves a space for British women of colour writing about their relationship to nature, climate justice, their inherited histories and associations, as well as present day experiences.

Roundtable: Women Filmmakers in Process
What does it take to finish a film? What do unfinished projects reveal about how films do and don’t get made? How do they make manifest the challenges faced by women and non-binary filmmakers? And when might it make sense not to finish a film—to leave it unpolished or fragmentary?
This roundtable takes us behind the scenes of film production. Independent women filmmakers working across the world discuss the realities of filmmaking practice in various national contexts. Their conversation considers barriers to women’s creative labour— social, political, economic—along with the impacts of structural sexism and the pressures of censorship. Finally, the panelists explore how unfinishedness can be used strategically by filmmakers, especially to reflect the uncertainties and messiness of everyday life.
Chaired by Dr Alix Beeston (Cardiff University) and featuring Carys Lewis (Wales/Canada), Tina Pasotra (Wales), Karen Pearlman (Australia), Mathilde Rouxel (France), and Sophia Siddique (Singapore/USA).
