Ek Zuban was a cross cultural writing and translation project offering writers living on Teesside the chance to explore the rich tapestry of literary traditions that co-exist within the area. The project was aimed at English, Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi writers who wished to explore the problems of translation and cross-cultural collaboration. The group were working towards producing a multi-lingual book of creative work in June 2000.
The project is a great opportunity for writers to realise the wealth of cultural and poetic traditions that currently co-habit within our area.
said Bob Beagrie of Cleveland Arts,
Ek Zuban will encourage the writers to step outside their own traditions and embrace the insights and inspirations of worlds that lie beyond their own words.
