Our aim is to nurture interdisciplinary artistic research, and promote international experiences in cultural fields. We encourage enquiry and creativity through scholarly research as well as creative writing practices. Our special focus is to establish cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural connections, especially artistic exploration of questions within the postcolonial or diasporic experience, history and memory, and the current global situation.
