Making Literature Travel

A series of conversations and Q&A sessions with our former Charles Wallace India Trust Fellows and Literature Across Frontiers’ Director, Alexandra Büchler, produced in collaboration with Yr Egin Ar-Lein.

We catch up with our former Fellows to discuss what they have been up to since their Fellowship in Wales. The series was recorded and broadcast during the Covid-19 lockdown.
