About India Wales
India Wales is a joint initiative between Wales Arts International and the British Council that supports artistic collaboration and exchange between creative professionals and arts organisations in Wales and India. India Wales supports the broader UK India Year of Culture 2017 but also extends beyond.
About the Valley, the City, the Village Project
In 2017, publishers Parthian Books (Wales) and Bee Books (India), together with Literature Wales and Wales Arts Review, collaborated on The Valley, The City, The Village, a project in which six writers from Wales and India explored each other’s countries and used these experiences to provoke and inspire new writing.
Each group of writers has toured the other nation, and the project has already seen a new Welsh book launched at the Kolkata Book Fair in India and group appearances at Hay and Llansteffan Festivals, as well as a residency at Ty Newydd in North Wales, among many other public events spanning across Wales. A special (and first print) edition of Wales Arts Review was published following the Welsh writers’ tour of India in spring 2017. It can be purchased from Parthian's website here.
