DIVERSAS: Diversity in Portuguese and Chinese Translation, St. Joseph University, Macau, 27 September-20 October 2023.
The exhibition “DIVERSAS – Diversity in Portuguese-Chinese Translation,” organized by at the University of Saint Joseph, is a multifaceted display of intercultural and linguistic dialogue between Portuguese and Chinese. This exhibition showcases student projects prepared during the prior academic year. Each work reflects the diversity of these two very different languages, exploring the translation and interpretation of texts, covering various genres, themes, and fields of knowledge. DIVERSAS invites visitors to explore and discover the plurality of meanings and perspectives that arise throughout the process of teaching and learning languages. Each piece in the exhibition is a testimony to the challenge of translating not only words but also contexts, ideas, and feelings between such rich cultures and traditions.
This event is an opportunity to see the work and creativity of the students, and to reflect on the importance of intercultural dialogue in building a more inclusive and harmonious world.
The exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the role of translation in bringing worlds closer together, in understanding other cultures, and in building bridges between people and nations. It would serve well as a model to other similar programs.
