VII TRANSLATORIUM Literary and Translation Festival

TRANSLATORIUM is the only literary and translation festival for now in Ukraine, which is dedicated to literary translation and the International Translator’s Day. Since 2017, it has been annually held in Khmelnytskyi in late September — early October.

The Festival is curated by the VERBatsiya translation group.

Every year, the Festival chooses a new theme, according to which curators create events and special projects. During the three days of the Festival, more than 20 events are held: lectures, readings, literary translation workshops, professional discussions, and informal meetings. Among the participants are well-known translators, poets, writers, publishers, and cultural managers from Ukraine and abroad. The programme is complemented by the projects that work on the border of different arts, in particular music and literature, literature and visual art, etc. Because the team considers translation to be not only a process of reproducing text in different languages, but also of transferring and comprehending senses in different sign systems.
