Translating Wor(l)ds with Ania Spyra

Description

The Event In an ideal world, all writers would be translators, and all translators would be writers. Nothing makes one more sensitive to the pliancy of a language than the effort of transcribing it into another. This hands-on workshop will introduce creative writing strategies based on translation and mistranslation, with an eye to how they already intersect with participants’ own writing. Knowledge of another language is welcome but not necessary. Participants should be 13 years old and up.
