FIVE women from the district are to be part of a pioneering international project. They will join with five women from Pakistan to curate and deliver a weekend of digital literature festival events in November. ‘From Keighley To Karachi’ is part of a collaboration between Bradford Literature Festival and Adab Festival in Pakistan. It is backed by the British Council Digital Collaboration Fund. Adab Festival was formed in 2019 to showcase Pakistan’s historically rich and diverse literature and cultures against a backdrop of “continuing challenges, stifled expression and stereotypes”. Organisers say From Keighley to Karachi will bring together women from diverse and disadvantaged communities, in Bradford district and across Pakistan, who face a range of barriers – from gender-based to economic.
