British Council Literature Seminar 2021 - We are Wales: disparate voices, landscapes and stories
Thu 4 Mar 2021 to Sat 6 Mar 2021
The British Council Literature Seminar will feature contemporary writing from Wales at the Literaturhaus Stuttgart from 4 – 6 March 2021, in partnership with the Welsh Government, Literature Wales, and the cities of Cardiff and Stuttgart. Taking place online, it will be chaired by Niall Griffiths and Dr Francesca Rhydderch, both of whom have been awarded the Wales Book of the Year Award.
The seminar will offer academics, students, publishers, translators and journalists from across Europe the chance to experience some of the best of Welsh literature and engage with writers and their work first-hand.
We are excited to welcome Welsh writers Professor Richard Gwyn, Zoë Brigley, Manon Steffan Ros and Professor Charlotte Williams OBE for readings, discussions and workshops. Additionally, emerging Welsh writers Joao Morais, Richard Owain Roberts, Hanan Issa, Eluned Gramich, Alex Wharton and Ifan Morgan Jones will be featured through specially commissioned films.
The seminar will take place online via Zoom. The introductory event will start on Thursday 4 March at 18.30 CET and the closing event will take place on Saturday 6 March at 19.15 CET. The seminar will consist of two public readings, presentations by four further literary voices from Wales, two panel discussions and four author-led workshops.
