Project summary

The main goal of the Wintertuin Residency is to connect our writer in residence to a professional network of literary makers, translators, professionals, publishers and an audience. The residency programme is focused on emerging literary artists, who have had limited access to international markets and exchanges in their careers so far. The residency programme seeks to develop a professional network, to strengthen the participant's professional development, translate a sample of the work of the writer into Dutch and to engage with new audiences. It also aims to engage with the writer in a collective creative process seeking to produce a new piece of artistic/cultural work inspired by their stay in Nijmegen, which will be translated and published in print as a zine.

Temo Rekhviashvili

Biography: Temo Rekhviashvili (1993) is a contemporary Georgian author, playwright, and actor. He graduated from the Shota Rustaveli Theatre and Film Georgian State University and has worked as an independent actor in numerous theatres. Temo co-founded the Open Space of Experimental Art (2016) and the Theatre Company Haraki (2019). In 2017, together with Gvantsa Enukidze, he founded the poetic collective Dramatic Poetry Accessible to All, which has around thirty poet members. His novel Courier Stories (or The Diaries of the Deliveryman) was created based on notes made while working as a courier and won the Saba Literary Award in 2022 in the category Best Debut of the Year. Temo has since published his second book, a collection of two plays, and is currently working on his second fiction book.
