About this event
The TDSG 1-Day Pass gives you access to all TDSG Symposium sessions on 26 September — a series of panel discussions and lectures exploring translation across languages, cultures and creative practices.
This year's programme looks at translation in multilingual creative work, the role translators play in shaping how women's writing travels across cultures, and how accessibility practices can open up new ways of experiencing creative work. The day concludes with acclaimed writer and translator Deepa Bhasthi reflecting on what it means to live in and through multiple languages.
Individual tickets are also available for each session. TDSG 1-Day Pass holders enjoy 20% off workshop tickets.
