Rough Translation – Lectures & talks with Ukranian poets
Lab 1_Roughly speaking: war
War, writes Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, is the allegorical name for an extreme form of untranslatability. Despite this, or precisely because of it, it is the attempt that counts; the ongoing attempt of translation, a translation that always remains unrealised. At the event, Ukrainian poets will read and discuss. They will be broadcast live from Ukraine and the event will be transmitted to the Auditorium of the Angewandte.
ROUGH TRANSLATION Lab 1_Roughly speaking: War takes place in two spaces. The space of Austrian normality and the space of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. Curated by Evgenia Lopata, the artistic director of the international poetry festival Meridian Czernowitz talks to the authors Andrij Ljubka, Iryna Tsilyk, Kateryna Kalytko and Taras Prochasko. Both the authors and Evgenia Lopata are still in Ukraine. They will be connected live to the auditorium of the Angewandte. The event will be translated into German consecutively by Anna Kolomiitseva. The German translation of the literary texts will be read by staff and students of the Institute for Language Arts.
Evgenia Lopata is Ukrainian cultural manager and translator. She has been the director of the Meridian Chernivtsi International Poetry Festival and the publishing house of the same name since 2013. As a translator, she translates texts from German into Ukrainian. She organises reading tours of Ukrainian authors such as Serhij Schadan, Oksana Sabuschko and Jurij Andruchowytsch through Europe, initiates many international European-Ukrainian cultural projects and has been involved for years with the presence of Ukrainian writers at international literary forums such as the Leipzig, Vienna and Frankfurt Book Fairs.
