Support Sangam House

Major art forms, especially the visual and performing arts, have traditionally thrived with private support and patronage. This has never been the predominant model for literature. We aim to establish an international network of patronage and public support that will help serious writing flourish.

We are seeking partnerships from individuals and cultural organizations that recognize this void and acknowledge the potential of literature to illuminate the complexities of the human, political and economic conditions around the world.

Sangam House will partner with freeDimensional, www.freedimensional.net, an organization dedicated to finding safe havens for artists of all disciplines who have been put in danger directly because of their work. There are countless writers in too many regions of the world who have been censored, forced into exile, or received death threats; these writers are, quite literally, looking for a home. We will reach out to as many of them as possible as a member of the freeDimensional network.

We are seeking financial partnerships with individuals and organizations willing to sponsor a residency opening. The overall cost for one residency space for the duration of the session is 3600 USD. This includes food, housing and complete use of the Adishakti property for all three months. As an alternative, we welcome those who would like to sponsor a specific writer for the duration of an average stay of four weeks for a cost of 1200 USD. We are proud to partner with the following organizations:

Danish Council for the Arts

Finnish Literature Exchange (FILI)

Random House India

Penguin India

freeDimensional

Lavanya Sankaran

The Centre for Communication and Development Studies

Sahitya Akademi (The Indian National Academy for Letters)

The Business Standard

InKo Centre, Chennai

We also welcome general support and contributions to the program.
No contribution is too small. Thank you for your support.
