CELA (connecting emerging literary artists) is about sharing stories beyond barriers.
The talent development project offers a European context to a new generation of literary creators across 10 different countries.

It's very nice to find a space where we can rethink an old fashioned idea of publishing and make community with it.

Tadeáš Dohňanský
Translator, resident 2019-2023
It gives me the possibility to read new texts by emerging authors and translate them, which creates a very strong connection between me as a beginning translator and these authors.

Tereza Prymak
Translator, resident 2019-2023
It promotes and motivates young contemporary artists.

Mirt Komel

CELA helps me internationalize my work, as well as get in touch with fellow writers.

Aya Sabi
Writer, resident 2019-2023
CELA is important to Europe because it works on a shared culture, literature and that will help Europe in constructing an identity based on differences.

Agata Tomažič
Writer, resident 2019-2023
CELA is important because translations into foreign languages never happen by chance.
