Caesurae Collective Society

About Us

Caesurae Collective Society is a registered non-profit organization devoted to academic and cultural activities. We organize academic seminars, creative writing, music, dance, film, graphic, photography and art workshops and events. Our organization prides in members who come from different disciplines. We have serious academicians who are creatively inclined. And we have professionals from different cultural streams. Caesurae is a love nest which intends to bring together creative arts with academic discourse on culture and cultural translation. If you have the creative and / or academic zeal in you and wish to become one of “us”, you just have to write to mail@caesurae.org with your interests and a brief about yourself. Our multi-media E Journal, Caesurae: Poetics of Cultural Translation, is free for readers and contributors. However, one is required to be a member, to participate in our conferences and workshops.
