words service

Is there something you want to say or write, 
but can’t find the words? 
Then visit words service. 

The words provider Sarah Vanhee will lend you a listening ear. words service is happy to help you with matters of head, heart and soul for which you need words. Communication is precious. words service can be visited weekly at AZ Sint-Lucas, for several months. With great care and precision, the words provider will search for words, together with you, in a discreet, poetic setting. This can take many forms: 

- a letter  
- something you want to say to one or more people, live or via a voice message  
- an e-mail you want to send 
- something you want to write/say publicly  
- something you want to write down because you don't want it to get lost  
- something you want to see rephrased 

 All requests are welcome. More examples on www.words-service.be

PUBLIC PRESENTATION WORDS SERVICE  

Friday 14 March at 19h00, in CAMPO nieuwpoort 
Tuesday 13 May at 20h30, in CAMPO victoria 
free of charge, reservation needed 

Curious about all the writing? There are two public presentations of words service, in the form of a lecture-performance. Sarah Vanhee will talk about the history of the public writer, her role as a words provider and her experiences, ideas and observations. This will be followed by an anthology of texts. 

words service is staffed by artist Sarah Vanhee, together with other words providers. With this work, Vanhee elaborates on her practice of active and deep listening, central to her oeuvre. words service offers attention and humanity in a hectic society, and is an ethical, aesthetic and symbolic alternative to the far-reaching digitalisation and robotisation of our language, communication and services.
