Presenting and international festival of writers including Madhu Kaza and Jeyamohan! More coming soon!

As part of its evolving research residency program, the Provisions Research Center for Art and Social Change—the research arm of Mason Exhibitions—continues to develop experimental initiatives grounded in open, interdisciplinary dialogue. Conceived as spaces for collective inquiry, these conversations serve as catalysts for academic research, exhibitions, and other creative practices.

In May 2026, Cheuse Center board member Katherine E. Young’s translation of Akram Aylisli’s People and Trees (Plamen Press) was named one of three finalists for the 2026 European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Literature Prize. The winning author and translator will be announced on 2 July at an awards ceremony at the EBRD’s headquarters in London.
