The process of translation entails finding the correct way to convey meaning from one language to another. The title, both metaphorically and in practice, alludes to the perpetual need to discover new methods of translation to adapt to the evolving circumstances of life in exile, particularly for those who recently had to leave their homes due to political and geopolitical reasons. People who were forced to leave their home countries, to cut a lot of ties, both professional and personal, facing the challenges of the need to 'translate' not only the language and new semiotic system in everyday life as immigrants, but to make everyday efforts to get to know and comprehend the otherness, to integrate into the new cultural context and social structures and re-evaluate their own identity in these new circumstances. The projects presented at the exhibition primarily reflect or are influenced by the struggles and the process of discovering new grounds and means to forge fresh ties and get new meanings.
✳
The exhibition consists of the art projects realized by participants of the «Pause/Play: Culture under Pressure» project from the previous year, as well as from work-in-progress from this year.
