Kurdish writer and translator Ciwanmerd Kulek in residence in Aberystwyth

Ciwanmerd Kulek spent time in Wales working with translator from Turkish Caroline Stockford translating some of the Mabinogi legends into Kirmanji and editing a self-transited text of his novella. The residency is a second one we are co-organising with PEN Cymru following a residency with Salih Agir Qoseri in March 2017.
The two residencies were supported by Arts Council Wales, Wales PEN Cymru, PEN International and Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
