Translation Zone(s)<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Translation Zone(s)<\/em><\/strong> is an ongoing series of events, projects, art works, texts and activities that brings monolingual and multilingual individuals (artists, researchers, translators, linguists, performers, participants and audiences) together to examine art-and-translation as a transdisciplinary practice. The works use text, sound and the voice to explore \u2018interlingual\u2019 translation, and draw upon linguistics, intercultural communication and second language acquisition. The projects are responsive, generative and experimental, the nature, form and format of each event\/work depends upon particular context, audience and participants. Recent work incorporating issues of language learning. The role that I play in these projects varies: artist, researcher, provocateur, facilitator, director, collaborator, writer, educator, host and others.<\/p>\n

The term \u2018zone\u2019, borrowed from Emily Apter (2006), also emphasises the movement inherent within the prefix trans <\/em>in translation and points towards the precarious nature of translation, which is always in the process of becoming.\u00a0The projects\/events are\u00a0been loosely categorised into works<\/em> (performance, texts, installations etc.) and constellations<\/em>\u00a0(round table events, interviews etc.) though they often overlap.<\/p>\n

Translation Zone(s): constellations<\/em><\/strong> is the collective term for the physical \u2018zones\u2019, spatial configurations that Connelly devises to expand research into art-and-translation. These nomadic, multipurpose pop up project spaces, events and exhibitions seek to create the conditions for artists, academics and others to engage in the topic, participate and engage in activities, events and discussions that focus on the topic. The format and form of each zone\/constellation<\/em> is determined by its particular context, site, audience, themes, purpose and research questions that it is seeks to examine.<\/p>\n
