CID Poster 12: The Elephant in the Room Translated into Spanish

CID Posters

This poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit, has now been translated into Spanish. It demonstrates visually the common expression “the elephant in the room,” used to describe something which is obvious but not being discussed openly.

Here we present the Spanish translation, CID Poster 12: El elefante en la habitación, provided by Neus Crous-Costa, with additional graphic design work by Yan Qiu.

CID Poster 12: The elephant in the room translated into Spanish

The image was originally prepared to illustrate In Dialogue: CID Occasional Papers 1: Intercultural Dialogue as the Elephant in the Room: Moving from Assumptions to Research Investigations, by Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. The quote integrated into the poster comes from that paper, and says:

Intercultural dialogue might be called the elephant in the room, a metaphor referring to something obvious which is nonetheless ignored. Most often, practitioners and diplomats use the term intercultural dialogue, but they rarely define it, and conduct little to no research in order to discover how it works, but only hold it up as a desired end. Academics, who certainly conduct research, rarely use this term, thus have rarely studied it, although some research by other names sheds light on how it works.

Just in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:

Center for Intercultural Dialogue. (2026). El elefante en la habitación [N. Crous-Costa, trans.]. CID Posters, 12. Available from: https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/cid-poster-12-the-elephant-in-the-room-spanish.png

As with other series, CID Posters are available for free on the site; just click on the thumbnail to download a printable version. They may be downloaded, printed, and shared as is, without changes, without cost, so long as there is acknowledgment of the source.

As with other CID Publications, if you wish to prepare an original contribution, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case any series, posters should be created initially in English. If you want to volunteer to translate a poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.
