SUMMARY:Language\, Listen
DESCRIPTION:Photo credits: Jacaranda Literary Agency\nIndia is a country wi
 th so much linguistic diversity\, where every hundred kilometres\, dialect
 s shift. While the world is much more open and yet closer than ever before
 \, linguistic borders feel more divided and divisive\, even as they overla
 p in reality\, and in spoken word.\n\nWhile International Translation Day 
 is only one day that celebrates linguistic inclusion and diversity\, this 
 Language\, Listen reading event will be a meeting of writers\, translators
 \, and readers\, and in languages from all around India and eventually\, t
 he world.\n\nLanguage\, Listen prioritises readings over panels and talks\
 , focusing instead on the practice of translation and the sound of languag
 es. Beyond the often-insular discussions at literary festivals\, this even
 t is an invitation to all to be part of a more immersive and active experi
 ence of linguistic complexity and diversity\, through the act of listening
 . \n\nWith an introduction by Vivek Shanbhag\, and translators and writer
 s from across the spectrum—voices that are both fresh and new\, as well 
 as those that are leaders in the industry. The line-up includes luminaries
  such as Anurag Basnet\, Arunava Sinha\, Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar\, KR Mee
 ra\, Narasimha Kumar\, Pasha Bhai\, Sayari Debnath\, Sonam Kalra\, Suchitr
 a Ramachandran\, Sunandini Banerjee\, Mehdi Khawaja and Vidya Pai. We aim 
 for this to be a unique literary and linguistic endeavour that brings read
 ers\, writers\, and translators together in a shared love for and celebrat
 ion of languages and translation.\n\nThis is presented by Jacaranda Litera
 ry Agency in collaboration with MAP and supported by the  New India Found
 ation.
