World of Languages – Discovering Translation as Art at the Literature House Oberpfalz
This special exhibition makes the hidden art of literary translation visible. Visitors experience a vibrant event experience: From the first draft to the published version, the exhibition shows how translators recreate sound, rhythm and meaning across language barriers.
Atmosphere: Close to the Creative Process
Between manuscripts, typescripts, and listening stations, a focused event atmosphere unfolds. Original working materials provide insights into the organization and planning of the exhibition: clearly marked pathways, concise wall texts, strong targeting of literature fans, students, and culture enthusiasts.
Masters of their Craft: Insights into Translation Workshops
Exhibits from the estates of renowned translators document decisions made on the text: word fields, metaphors, versions. It becomes tangible how much experience, intuition, and craftsmanship are involved in every successful solution – and how audience mood arises when translation is understood as a creative performance.
