Sangam House
Sangam House is an international writers' residency program located in India which brings together writers from across the world to live and work among their peers in a safe, supportive and nurturing space.
Major art forms, especially the visual and performing arts, have traditionally thrived with private support and patronage. This has never been the predominant model for literature. We aim to establish an international network of patronage and public support that will help serious writing flourish. We seek partnerships from individuals and cultural organizations that recognize this void and acknowledge the potential of literature to illuminate the complexities of the human, political and economic conditions around the world.
Sangam House is part of the freeDimensional, www.freedimensional.org, a network dedicated to finding safe havens for artists of all disciplines who have been put in danger directly because of their work.
Sangam House also actively seeks financial partnerships and sponsorships to bring writers from across the world to Sangam House.
