World of Languages: How Translating Makes Literature Audible and Visible

This special exhibition at the Sulzbach-Rosenberg Literary Archive opens up a rare literary experience: translating as an art of the present. Visitors immerse themselves in a reading atmosphere and workshop views, learn about narrative subtleties, and experience how new texts with their own timbre arise from originals. Admission free.

The Art of Translation: Form, Tone, and Meaning

Through documents, drafts, and audio stations, the exhibition shows how metrics, idioms, and semantic nuances shape aesthetic decisions. The exhibition skillfully integrates the genre of translation into the literary scene, discussing style, linguistic art, and literary quality – from the history of the work to today's editions.

Archival Treasures: Close to the Sources

A panorama of modern translation culture unfolds from the holdings of the literary archive and in cooperation with literary institutions. Manuscripts, editorial correspondence, and audio recordings make the author’s encounters with translators concrete – a transcultural exchange across language and cultural borders.

Listening, Reading, Comparing

Audio examples and text comparisons sensitize the ear for rhythm, breath, and voice. Visitors sharpen their eye for narrative strategies and intertextual references; the intimate atmosphere of the presentation promotes focused reading, critical work consideration, and reflective reading experiences.

Conclusion

A concentrated, sensual literary experience is expected: translations as an art and intellectual space that widens perspectives and shapes reading biographies. Ideal for everyone who wants to experience linguistic art, literary history, and curatorial mediation live.
