Join us on Saturday, September 16th at 2PM for the unveiling of the first set of portraits, as part of the 2023 Latino Celebration exhibition Imágenes sin palabras, at the Newark Public Library.
LIVES IN TRANSLATION (LiT) in collaboration with the DESIGN CONSORTIUM (DC) present A Feeling Of Itself, an exhibition that engages the audience through a set of multimedia audio-visual experiences that express the value of living in translation, based on cultural exchange and the concept of what in Spanish we call “arraigo,” which roughly translates to “a sense of belonging because of one’s roots.”
Translation extends beyond language transfer, encompassing cultural nuances and historical contexts to bridge the gap between cultures. This exhibition celebrates the linguistic richness of our campus and our region, and explores the intersections of language, identity, immigration, culture and social justice.
Join us on an exploration of intricate relationships between languages, presented by a collection of bilingual interviews thoughtfully curated by students at Rutgers University-Newark (RU-N) from the LiT program, who engaged in conversations with family and friends to share their personal experience with language. These conversations shine a spotlight on the profound impact of multilingualism on personal narratives, connections, and self-expression.
The title, A Feeling Of Itself, is a phrase from one of the recordings — the brother
of an LiT student sharing his unique story of life between languages, and the feeling of expressing and communicating in two or more languages at once.
The current selection is a set dedicated to celebrating Latino heritage and language, represented by our Lives in Translation students, Alma Garcia and Jennifer Carpio, who have conducted interviews in Spanish and Tlapanec.
