Die international bekannte Autorin Easterine Kire wird am 8. November 2011 im GAL einen Vortrag zum Thema Addressing the silences halten.
Easterine Kires Gedichtband war der erste jemals in Nagaland publizierte seiner Art, und dasselbe kann von ihrer ersten Novelle festgestellt werden - the first novel by a Naga writer. Aktuell bereitet die Autorin ihr erstes Kinderbuch zur Veröffentlichung in Indien vor - was wiederum eine Premiere darstellen wird.

Sie selbst schreibt über sich und ihre aktuellen Projekte:
„I AM A NAGA POET AND SHORT STORY WRITER LIVING IN NORWAY. I HAVE WRITTEN THREE NOVELS OF WHICH TWO ARE PUBLISHED. I HAVE TAUGHT AT UNIVERSITY IN NAGALAND FOR 18 YEARS AND CONTINUE TO TEACH POETRY AND POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURE IN NORWAY.
I ALSO GO ON SCHOOL TOURS. IN THE PAST I HAVE TOURED NORDLAND DISTRICT WITH A SAMI YOIKER, INGA JUSSO, WITH A PERFORMANCE OF SONGS AND STORYTELLING FROM OUR RESPECTIVE CULTURES. THE SAMIS AND THE NAGAS HAVE A LOT OF CULTURAL AFFINITY. WE DISCOVERED THAT WE COULD WORK TOGETHER ARTISTI-CALLY, THROUGH BOTH MUSIC AND STORYTELLING.
THE MOST REWARDING PART OF WORKING WITH INGA HAS BEEN THE SINGING AND YOIKING TOGETHER. AS I SANG, SHE WOULD JOIN ME WITH A YOIK. THE SHARED STORY TRADITION AMONG THE SAMIS AND THE NAGAS IS ALSO REMARKABLE.“’

Der Vortrag wird in englischer Sprache gehalten
