Newsletter Pro Helvetia New Delhi 0209

The book, 'When Kulbhushan Met Stöckli' was the culmination of a two year collaborative project between Pro Helvetia, Indian publication house Phantomville and Edition Moderne. The unique graphic novel, a partnership between Indian and Swiss graphic novelists, was launched at Fumetto - the International Comics Festival in Lucerne in March 2009, in both German and English. Of the 30 international participants at Fumetto this year, India made its debut!

The project finds continuity in an exhibition in Zürich - 'Back from India' which provides an insight into the travel and the varied experiences that the seven Swiss graphic novelists were subjected to, while on their residency in India. Christoph Schuler, one of the Swiss graphic novelists will also be reading from his Indian diaries.

The collaborative publication by Phantomville and Edition Moderne, 'When Kulbhushan Met Stöckli' will soon be published in India as well - and give another reason for both the Indians and the Swiss to celebrate each other's stories.
