Curated by the UCL听European Institute, 新香港六合彩开奖结果Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the 新香港六合彩开奖结果Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis,听Lost & Found: A European Literary Map of London听showcases texts written in over 20 languages, with each location the site of a real or imagined encounter with London by a European writer.

The map captures and explores the impact London has had on writers such as Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, who in his first encounter with London in 1847 referred to it as 鈥渢he city of cities鈥�, as well as a letter written by Vincent van Gogh, who lived in South London for three years in the early 1870s. Other names include Giacomo Casanova, Karl Marx, Victor Hugo and Joseph Conrad, alongside contemporary authors from Ananda Devi to Cristina Marconi.

A public exhibition based on the map, which launches on 24 October 2023 and will run in the South Cloisters in UCL鈥檚 Wilkins Building until May 2024, brings to life the online resource in an immersive display, illustrating London鈥檚 rich history as a hub for cultural exchange.

The exhibition will form the backdrop for a series of associated activities throughout the year designed to inspire critical engagement with the texts on the map, source new entries and stimulate fresh writing on London.

Dr Uta Staiger is the Executive Director of the 新香港六合彩开奖结果European Institute and a member of the team behind the map. She said: 鈥淭his exhibition, and the map on which it is based, encourages us to reflect on London as a place in the European imagination, a capital city where journeys and languages have historically intersected, where people and cultures continue to meet and are transformed.

鈥淚t is fitting for 新香港六合彩开奖结果to be leading this project given our rich tradition of scholarship on European languages and cultures, our connections to cultural organisations across the capital and the continent, and our status as London鈥檚 Global University.鈥�

Alongside the launch of the map and exhibition will be a new Writer in Residency programme, run in partnership with EUNIC London (European Union National Institutes for Culture)听鈥� who are also partners in the development of the literary map听鈥撎�the European Literature Network, the Delegation of the European Union to the United Kingdom, and with the support of Geothe-Institut London. The Residency will commission a contemporary European author to spend four weeks embedded within 新香港六合彩开奖结果Arts and Humanities and to produce original writing on London.

With priority given to writers from diverse or otherwise under-represented groups, the aspiration behind this Residency is to diversify both the map and how we collectively imagine and understand both London and Europe. The selected writer will be involved in the 2024 European Writers鈥� Festival and will use the map to inspire young writers at 新香港六合彩开奖结果and schools in our local boroughs.

His Excellency Pedro Serrano, EU Ambassador to the United Kingdom, said: 鈥淭his exhibition and the wider European Literary Map of London project illustrate beautifully the longstanding and enduring cultural connections between the UK and the European continent, and the important role of the written word in building cross-cultural bridges and expanding our collective understanding.

鈥淭he EU Delegation is delighted to be working with our partners to deliver the Writer in Residency scheme with a focus on stimulating new encounters with London, and new writing on the city, by writers representing all aspects of society.鈥�

Chair of the European Literature Network Rosie Goldsmith said: 鈥淟ondon is a great European city. We eat, drink, speak, read and think European in London 鈥� a modern reality shaped by a history of immigration, multiculturalism and multilingualism. The European Literature Network fosters cultural, literary and language links between the UK and the rest of Europe. Networking and collaboration are the key to the future of London, the UK and Europe: we鈥檙e honoured and delighted to support this new venture.鈥�

罢丑别听exhibition launch event听will be held at 新香港六合彩开奖结果on Tuesday 24 October, 17:30, featuring three speakers: His Excellency Pedro Serrano, EU Ambassador to the United Kingdom; Professor Alan Thompson, Pro Provost (London) and Dean of the Faculty of Brain Sciences; and Lucy Shackleton, 新香港六合彩开奖结果European Institute.
