In this workshop the focus is our language, our mother tongues, and translation. It consists of two parts. During the first hour, Daniela Vicherat Mattar and Ting Ting Hui will talk about translation. After this introductory part, Nanne Timmer will lead a poetry lab in which “misunderstanding” is the starting point for our literary creations. Among others, our starting point will be a poem by the Chinese poet Zhou Zhan. Participants will experiment with very different strategies of translation and contagion as sources for creative inspiration. All types of linguistic backgrounds are welcome, and the aim is to create your own poem and a collective, instant publication.
