Translation finds its etymology in the movement of meaning across space. In this workshop, participants are invited to experiment with translating fragments of Arabic poetry (by machine, by correspondence, into and out of Persian). We will then work to assemble and embellish these fragments, producing a multilingual page styled on pre-modern albums that were designed to be read collectively as a showcase of the diversity of the Islamic world.For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].
