A fragrant June evening that's all about the most elusive sense. How can we translate scent into words and vice versa?
Marta Dziurosz's guests - Euan Cameron, translator of Philippe Claudel'sParfums (an autobiography told in smells);Ricarda Vidal, translator, researcher and creator of Translation Games (an interdisciplinary project playing with scent); and Pia Long, writer at Volatile Fiction and perfume expert - will discuss the alchemy of language and sensory experiences.
After the discussion and a short reading fromParfums, join us for a spot of creative writing; we will provide fragrant substances to inspire you to “translate” them into prose or poetry.
