AHRC Award for Experiential Translation Network

We are pleased to announce that CMCI’s Dr Ricarda Vidal has been awarded an AHRC Network grant. As Principal Investigator Ricarda will set up the international Experiential Translation network together with Dr Madeleine Campbell (University of Edinburgh) as Co-Investigator. The network includes academics, artists and translators from the UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hong Kong, Hungary and Poland.
Together, they will explore translation between languages (interlingual) but also between media (intersemiotic) as a method of creation and communication, as a method for learning and teaching, collaboration and participation within multilingual, multicultural and multimodal settings. This includes understanding the many modes and modalities that contribute to meaning-making in cross-cultural communication (online & offline), language education and translation, and embracing the role of individual imagination and artistic creation in education and arts institutions (e.g. libraries, galleries, museums). They will employ arts-based and collaborative research methods including creative public workshops at libraries, museums, galleries, schools and universities.
The Network will commence in March 2021 and run until September 2022 – watch this space for announcements of workshops and a final exhibition and international conference in June 2022.
