Experiments in Translation: Solidarities through Time and Space
Julie Carr, Ghazal Mosadeq and Daniel Borzutky will present recent experiments in translation. For Julie Carr’s project she invited seven people to translate a poem from her forthcoming book, Turning, into seven languages relevant to the poem’s content. These languages are movement, German, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Spanish, and sound. The multi-lingual and multi-vocal poem—which addresses chemical warfare in Nazi occupied Ukraine (where members of Carr’s family originate) and in present-day Gaza—is presented as a video and audio performance.
