ourselves public, we translate ourselves in our presence. Being queer is very different depending
on where we are, and will also be different five years from now.”
This, perhaps, is the reality: as queer beings we share an experience within time and distance.
“I used to think that the last threshold of freedom was saying whatever we want. Now I think
the last threshold is when someone translates theirself.”
Returning here to the good translation manual, we find another definition that TRANSLATING
KUIR brings into play: “The translator’s role is therefore to decipher ciphered communication
and transpose it on to their own language by way of a new key.”
Translating Kuir is
refusing to build
a single language.
Taking risks
Since the call for proposal one question has been raised that, as it probes for answers,
reformulates itself and reveals a tremendous problem. So tremendous that it could have even
questioned the feasibility of the very call. Natalia Mallo, Lisa Kerner, Violeta Uman and Ruth
MacCarth–the hosts from their respective spaces–are aware of the dilemma they are pointing to
with their invitation: “The central theme of these encounters is the untranslatable”. What words
do we speak to each other? What is the tone? From the beginning, we assume the impossibility
of the subject we are going to try to discover. The great question is how to talk for and from a
collective, how to address a community looking for shared paths without “smoothing over the
difference”. Does this community exist? And if we assume that it does, what unifies it? How do
you avoid naming yourself and limiting yourself to the place of reaction, to what you are not,
to your opposite?
