How can we access places we’re dislocated from through writing? What tools can be used to craft cultural memory in words?

Tamil is one of the world’s oldest living languages, spoken by millions of people across South and Southeast Asia. Sri Lankan poet Niroshini Samosundaram and Singaporean writer Inbha discuss how Tamil, family history, and life across borders shape their writing. Chaired by poet, editor and translator Shash Trevett, the conversation explores memory, belonging, and what it means to write as Tamil women today.
