EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Poetry Translation Residency - Apply Now
This 3 day immersive poetry translation residency will have six translator participants working on six contemporary Bengali poets. The participants will be selected through application and review of their portfolio of translation works. We plan to translate 5-10 poems of each selected poet in the three day period and expect the collaboration to continue further, eventually producing a volume worth of translated poems for each poet.
Poetry In Motion
Songs Of Our Sisters
We share the same land but we do not meet. We share the same nationality but there is an invisible border that separates us. We sing the same songs in
different languages but never get the chance to hold hands and share them.
Body in Verses
The underlying idea is to form an orchestra that can harmonize the work of all the poets on stage. influenced as they are by their diverse lingusitic traditions, through performances where the word is supported and amplified by a plurality of artistic languages.
