Sangam house

Sangam house is an international writer's residency program that brings together writers from across the world to live and work among their peers in a safe, supportive and nurturing space.

…a bunch of open-minded people gathered to exchange thoughts and ideas on a high contemporary and international level.

- Xaver Bayer

Every winter the Sangam House invites approximately twenty writers to live and work at an arts institution in southern India. Each year, half the invited writers come from the South Asian subcontinent (India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka) and half from other countries around the world. Sangam House is open to writers in all languages and disciplines - we welcome fiction and non-fiction writers, poets, translators, playwrights and screen-writers.

The Sangam House season usually runs for about 10 weeks between November and February. Individual residence periods are determined by writers' needs and available resources (though we recommend a residency period of no less than 2 weeks). A Sangam House invitation means that board and lodge are covered for the duration of the writer's stay with us.
