Translation Through Time

Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives (PACC) at Haverford College

https://collaboratives.haverford.edu/translation-through-time/

CCJ is pleased to participate in Haverford College’s Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives in spring 2020. In partnership with the college and artist Shuzo Azuchi Gulliver we will examine the materiality and ephemerality of Japanese experimental and expanded cinema practices that challenge the conventions of spectatorship through participatory modes of engagement. ‘Translation Through Time: Image, Text, and Language’ will ask, how do you make the relationship between the screen and the audience active not passive? How do you deconstruct linear narratives of time through exhibition and performance? How do you preserve, document, and disseminate the legacy of moving images as opposed to still images? What are the differences between ‘analogue’ and ‘digital’ archiving? What are the issues involved in translation between Japanese and English? We will consider these questions in an attempt to interpret and translate the role of fine art and performance in and across various media.
