Our vision and conviction , are that culture and art are peace-making activities: the quintessential bridge-builders, with the potential to move us out of narrow and private worlds, towards each other and our co-creativity – personal / domestic / social / public

MetaLitereature is a trans n ationalist programme that focus both on processes and forms as well as on the treated subjects. Forms would involve translinguistic and visual language structures, and the creation of totemic linguistic artefacts. MetaCulture transnationalist collaboration is “egoless”, and transcends the social being that is formed by our everyday individualistic rational mind.

MetaLiterature aims to bring poets and writers in our working in different languages in 2 phased project:

1. Organisation of poetry and literature events where participants from different cultural backgrounds work with and across their differences: not to become like each other / the same, but to like and trust each other enough to hold hands and dance!

This is a collaborative performance, evoking both difference and commonality, rather than a series of individual readings. From the problems of society, we move through matters of the heart: including loss and mourning; participants celebrate recovery and renewal; life process itself, through poetry, story and music. Participants first name our concerns; through our co-creativity, we demonstrate our capacity for survival, reconciliation, adventure, and the enduring power of love.

2. Collaborative creation of transcultural works by members of the circle.

3. Experience sharing with other circles in targeted cities and transnational collaborative creation.
