TransARTation! is a touring exhibition that opens up a space for artists, poets, and local communities to explore ideas about translation, movement, migration and art in a variety of ways, including workshops, artists’ talks, interactive installations and multimedia art.

 

All TransARTation! events are free of charge

 

TransARTation! is participatory, allowing audiences to engage creatively with art. Audiences are invited to touch and manipulate the artwork, to respond digitally and manually to performances and to take part in translation workshops lead by artists and curators during which they will create poetry and art inspired by translation.

 

The aims of the exhibition and workshops is to foster community involvement in investigating how translation stimulates and provokes the production of text-objects and works of visual art, and to make visible the kinds of conversations that can occur between different cultures, languages and modes of expression.
