Welsh and Khasi cultural dialogues: an interdisciplinary arts and performance project

This study will compare Welsh and Indian cultures, investigating the shared cultural history of the people of Wales and the Khasi people of Northeast India. The interdisciplinary project will use film and performance to examine the 180-year period from the arrival of Welsh missionaries in the Khasi Hills from the 1840s, to the removal of all foreign missionaries from the country in 1967 and beyond. The legacy of the interaction will also be studied. “This is a tremendous opportunity and will allow us to explore and document the often surprising cultural crossovers between Wales and the Khasi Hills,” said Lisa Lewis, reader in theatre and performance at the University of South Wales. “Through the use of film and performance we hope to forge new connections and to make this legacy accessible to a wide audience in both countries.”
