Translation changes the world.

The “Übersetzen & Weltretten” (“Translating & Saving the World”) festival will bring together translators, authors and researchers for a passionate exchange of ideas about the vast diversity of literary utopias and dystopias. Drawing fully on the political power of language and the imagination, a series of readings, discussions and workshops will offer new perspectives on our present day and the potential futures that lie ahead of us.
