SUMMARY:2022 Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation Lecture by Hartmut Fähndrich
DESCRIPTION:Hartmut Fähndrich reflects on the dubious pleasure of translating modern Arabic literature into German. \n\n\nThis event will take place at the British Library. It will be simultaneously live streamed on the British Library platform. Tickets may be booked either to attend in person (physical)\, or to watch on our platform (online) either live or within 48 hours on catch up.  Viewing links will be sent out shortly before the event. \nThe online version of this event will be live captioned. \nThis year’s Saif Ghobash Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation Lecture is being given by noted translator Hartmut Fähndrich. He considers the ‘load’ placed on translators as they carry out their work. \nEvery guild has its patron\, a male or female saint whose emblem signifies the activities performed by its members. Saint Jerome spent a good part of his life single-handedly translating the Old Testament into Latin\, with only a lion squatting quietly in front of him. Thus becoming the patron saint of translators. \nYet\, this peaceful image does not convey the daily effort and pain of translation. \nSaint Christopher on the other hand is usually associated with carrying people across a river\, but his story has a strong connection with the arduous task of translation. In the famous story a child asked to be taken across the river\, but his precious ‘load’ seemed to grow heavier and heavier with each step. \nFor the translator the load consists of many parts: the desires of the authors\, the demands of the publishers\, the expectations of potential readers and the trials and tribulations of an adequate rendering of the text. \nThis is the burden weighing on the shoulders of the translator as Saint Christopher\, this man whom the German poet R.M. Rilke in a powerful poem described as “knowledgeable on both banks” and “receptive for all that want to cross over”. \nHartmut Fähndrich has been translating contemporary Arabic literature into German since the mid-1980s. His published translations currently number about 70\, mostly novels\, and include works of authors from Palestinian\, Egypt\, Libya\, Lebanon\, Saudi Arabia\, Iraq and Syria. He has published essays in numerous journals and magazines on modern and “classical” Arabic literature and civilization. \nHartmut has received several awards for his translation activities\, including Switzerland’s annual Special Award for Translation in 2016\, awarded for translation from Arabic\, and in 2018\, the Sheikh Hamad Award for Translation and International Understanding (Qatar).

SUMMARY:Luminance: A Tribute Event For Etel Adnan
DESCRIPTION:On the one year anniversary of her death\, Mizna celebrates the life and legacy of the prolific artist\, writer\, and philosopher Etel Adnan in a conversation with some of her collaborators and peers\, Kazim Ali\, Andrea Abi-Karam\, and Omar Berrada moderated by Mizna curator Heba Y. Amin. This conversation will be available to view starting November 14\, 2022. \nEtel Adnan passed away last year at the age of 96\, leaving behind a wealth of prose\, poetry\, and artworks. Adnan’s thoughtful and fierce approach to her practice serves as an inspiration and will continue to have a deep impact. Mizna has dedicated a large part of their 2022 film and literary programs to her memory. \nMizna’s summer journal\, Mizna 23.1 features Adnan’s paintings and tapestries and Mizna asked a few writers to join us in honoring her through written tributes. Omar Berrada\, one of Adnan’s frequent collaborators\, contributes a translated essay\, “I followed lines I never saw\,” originally written for the catalog of the exhibition Ecrire\, c’est dessiner\, which opened at Centre Pompidou-Metz in October 2021 and was inspired by Etel Adnan’s idea that “writing is drawing.” Curator Marie-Nour Héchaime interviewed Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige about the making of their film ISMYRNA and their creative relationship with Adnan in an interview titled Looking Through The Eternal Present. Kazim Ali\, Youmna Chlala\, Lisa Suheir Majaj\, and Andrea Abi Karam contributed poetry in the memory of Etel Adnan.
