TBF 2016-INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION FESTIVAL‘BABEL-IN THE WORLD OF TRANSLATION’translation. Fiction basedon language factsΑndrés Neuman Barbarismos* (OPERA Editions, 2015)

International literature and translation hold a special position in this year’s Fair, via a new Festival that attempts to promote the authors and their work, as well as to stress the defining role of translators and their art as a ‘universal language’ that allows literature to spread to every corner of the world. Greek and international writers, translators, academics, literature critics and others, actively participate in a complete four-day program of events, functions, workshops and discussions, centered around the universality of ideas.

The events of the International Literature and Translation Festival will mostly take place in the specially arranged room ‘BABEL, in the world of Translation’ (Pavilion 15), apart from the ones where a different location is men-tioned. The workshops/seminars for translators will take place at the conference center ‘Nikolaos Germanos’ (Pavilion 8).In the events where international speakers participate, there will be simultaneous interpretation.

Stereo Nova, The gallery

zwischen Immer und Nie(between ‘always’ and ‘never’)

Paul Celan, Nachts...

The TBF hosts this year the 3rd Young Writers’ Festival, giving the stage to eight-een young poets and prose writers who are authors of up to two published works. The space where it is taking place is indicative of its identity, since for the first time it will be held in the Gallery Room, creating an open and at the same time protected nest (a ‘nestival’), away from – but in constant communication with – the buzzing of an international Book Fair. The goal is the creation of a reflective framework of focus and concentration, as well as of union with the Fair’s larger landscape. Three discussions will take place, but mostly many readings and various events, so as to create a touch of interaction between the young authors and the audience, through other arts as well, with the participation of musicians, drama students and actors (with the contribution of director Sofia Karakantza).The 18 young authors are:Maria Angelopoulou, Christos Bitsikas, Thodoris Chiotis, Georgia Galani, Maria A. Ioannou, Thomas Ioannou, Lefteris Kalospyros, Eirini Karagiannidou, Mata Kastri-siou, Mairi Kligkatsi, Zafeiris Nikitas, Fanis Papageorgiou, Xenia Papadopoulou, Agis Petalas, Danai Sioziou, Pela Soultatou, Giannis Tsirmpas, Nikos Violaris.

VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITIONS‘Ex-ils, visual notes on expatriation’The group of artists known as ex-ils have been preoccupied with the refugee issue for months, drawing inspiration from James Joyce’s unique theatrical play ‘Exiles’ for their title. The aim of the group is to communicate their concern and ‘uneasiness’, relative to the handling of the painful and multifaceted issue of expatriates, with works of different art forms – painting, engraving, sculpture, video, constructions – approaching in this way what constitutes the ‘former self’ while experiencing a violent and traumatic transition from the ancestral place and space to an unfamiliar and occasionally inhospitable new environment. Participating artists: Anta Anastasea, Katerina Botsari, Kristi Grigoriou, Anna Karatza, Dim-itris Katsoudas, Rafaella Konstantinou, Kostis Kontos, Angeliki Loi, Vasilis Pafilis Theodora Pantazopoulou, Anastasios Pantis, Nikos Papadopoulos, Bessy Ralli, Vaso Tzouti, Alexan-dros Vergis, members of the group Ex-ils.Opening night: Thursday 12th May 2016, at 21:00, Duration: 12th May – 26th June 2016 Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art / 154 Egnatia Str.
