Brazilian Translation Club
We offer a series of workshops in which students, translators, and enthusiasts of Brazilian literature meet to discuss the translation of a selected contemporary Brazilian short story.
All are welcome, and you do not have to be a translator to join in. Anyone who translates from and into Portuguese or has some knowledge of Portuguese is welcome.
New Series
We are excited to introduce a new series of workshops focusing solely on contemporary Afro-Brazilian short fiction, sponsored by UCL Global Engagement. It is a partnership between Ana Cláudia Suriani da Silva (School of European Languages, Culture and Society, UCL), Maria Aparecida Andrade Salgueiro (Escritório Modelo de Tradução Ana Cristina César, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro) and Julio Ludemir (Festa Literária das Periferias).
