We are delighted to announce Bulgarian-born author and journalist Joanna Elmy as our inaugural Writer in Residence, offered in the context of the European Literary Map of London and the European Writers鈥� Festival, which 新香港六合彩开奖结果European Institute and 新香港六合彩开奖结果Arts and Humanities will be formally partnering on聽for the first time this year.

Joanna鈥檚 novel, written during her years in university, received a prestigious Bulgarian prize for emerging literature in 2022 and was shortlisted for several other national awards. During her four-week stay at 新香港六合彩开奖结果(24 April 鈥� 22 May), Joanna will engage with academics across faculties, and develop her second novel which features London prominently and explores 鈥榗ities of the world鈥� 鈥� a modern take on urban spaces partly inspired by Italo Calvino鈥檚 approach to writing the city.

鈥�新香港六合彩开奖结果and the European Literature Network are creating a rare and priceless opportunity for me to engage with specific aspects of my current work while immersed in an environment of culture and knowledge related to London and our broader European heritage. It is also an important step towards broadening our perceptions of the city, the continent, what it means to be European and how literature can help us translate all of this into personal meaning. I am beyond grateful to have been selected, and also hopeful that such projects are being conceived in times when we seem more prone than ever to forgetting just how crucial literature is for the survival of our humanity 鈥� in all senses of the word.

Brokered by the European Institute, the Residency is the product of a partnership with Rosie Goldsmith, curator of the European Writers鈥� Festival and Director of the European Literature Network and EUNIC London.

Rosie Goldsmith said: 鈥淛oanna鈥檚 originality and energy stood out for me from the outset. As a young novelist and journalist from Bulgaria - a country of great storytellers deserving of more recognition 鈥� she is also engaged in international affairs and a fluent English speaker. We couldn鈥檛 wish for a better first Writer in Residence.鈥�

EUNIC London Vice President Marios Theocharous added: "We're delighted to champion the European Literary Map of London: Writer in Residency Programme. This initiative signifies our commitment to nurturing diverse voices and fostering cultural dialogue within London's vibrant literary community."

Accommodation for the duration of the Residency period will be provided by the Goethe-Institut London. Gosia Cabaj, Head of the Information Services Northwestern Europe Region at the Goethe-Institut, said: 鈥淎s Germany鈥檚 cultural institute, we are very much looking forward to hosting Joanna and learning about her work and the perception of European heritage.鈥�

The programme is designed to support new writing on London from a European perspective, with the aim of further diversifying the European Literary Map of London, an online interactive map featuring over 80 text extracts about London originally written in 20 different European languages, developed by the European Institute, 新香港六合彩开奖结果Arts and Humanities and the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, and with each location the site of a real or imagined encounter with London by a European writer.

Lucy Shackleton, Head of Public Policy and Partnerships at 新香港六合彩开奖结果European Institute, said: 鈥淲e are delighted to be welcoming Bulgarian author Joanna Elmy, writing at the interface of several languages and literary cultures, as our first Writer in Residence, linked to the European Writers鈥� Festival and UCL鈥檚 European Literary Map of London project.

鈥淛oanna鈥檚 interest in the interplay between culture, identity and place; between otherness and nostalgia 鈥� and her commitment to supporting polyphony in world literature - makes her the ideal candidate to spend time at UCL, and we look forward to facilitating exchange between the 新香港六合彩开奖结果academic community and this exciting writer.鈥�

We are grateful for the support of our external collaborators, as well as聽the many teams across UCL, notably the London Office, Grand Challenges and Global Engagement, whose support made this project possible.
