Overview
This interdisciplinary project in creative arts investigates the shared cultural history of the people of Wales and the Khasi people of north east India. This history spans 170 years, from the arrival of the Welsh missionaries in the Khasi Hills in the 1840s, to the removal of all foreign missionaries from India in 1967, resulting in a complex body of trans-cultural material. The project uses performance, film, poetry, folk tales and music to construct a series of cultural dialogues between Welsh and Indian scholar-practitioners, dialogues that investigate and respond to our historical relationship.
The project is led by the University of South Wales (USW), in collaboration with academics from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Meghalaya.
