Laura Haynes
Synesthesia II
Symposium Panelist
Dr Laura Haynes is a writer, editor and academic based in Glasgow, UK. With Alice Bain, she is co-director of MAP Magazine, and at The Glasgow School of Art is leader of the neoteric studio-based interdisciplinary Art Writing Graduate Programme, where she also edits The Yellow Paper: Journal for Art Writing.
Laura’s research and writing is concerned with autotheory and biomythography as poetics for critique. Her work is interdisciplinary and cross-form, often both embodying and examining the intimate, cerebral and emotional voice as a rhetorical form where criticality is charged by correlation to the everyday. Underpinned by a feminist approach to understanding social relations between writers and artists, Laura has frequently written on forms such as anecdote, conversation and gossip as powerful and political forms of minor literature.
As an editorial director at MAP, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the discussion and support of artist-led publishing and production, Laura has played a pivotal role in advancing art writing and performative practices in Scotland.
