Translating Portuguese Poetry Workshop @ Good Company Bookstore
Event by: Good Company Bookstore
Location: Good Company Books, Avenida Visconde de Valmor 2, Lisboa
About event
Join us for a deep dive into the art of translating poetry. Our very own Tosia and Ricardo will be leading the conversation and we will focus on slow reading of chosen poems by Adilia Lopes and their translation into English.
Don’t miss this chance to explore the beauty - and challenges - of bringing poetry to life in a new language!
What to expect from this event
We want to tackle the subject of community translation, translating as a group, and the perks and challenges of this activity. We will warm up with some “words to image” challenges, embracing artistic expression and most importantly, having fun!
What do you need to bring
You don't need to bring anything, but it may be useful to have with you something to write with, such as a notebook or laptop. Any linguistic aids are welcomed, like traditional dictionaries.
Who is this event for
Anyone from creative writers and translators to curious readers and bilinguals.
Tickets for the event
This event is free to attend, but we’d love for you to register so we know how many to expect.
