Drop in for five to ten minutes to the tables in the Reading Room to write a poem around pieces of shredded documents found in the bins at Wellcome Collection. Give care and attention to things that have been discarded in this experience by artist Rhiannon Armstrong.

Your poems will be filmed and animated, then uploaded to the Giphy channel for The Slow GIF Movement: you will be able to find your GIF there, along with others written by people around the country.
