Tricky Translation Workshop
With Sophie Lewis and Susan de Muth

📍 Torriano Meeting House
99 Torriano Avenue, NW5

🎟️ Entry fee: £12 or according to pocket

Sophie Lewis is a prize-winning translator from French and Portuguese. Her new translation of Angst by Hélène Cixous will be published by Silver Press in March 2026.

Susan de Muth is the translator of Claude Cahun’s Cancelled Confessions and Uranian Games and several other Surrealist and Dada texts.

Working with selected texts in French by Claude Cahun and Hélène Cixous, Lewis and de Muth will discuss the challenges of translating the work of idiosyncratic and/or experimental writers as well as work written in gendered languages, and will support participants in producing their own English renderings.

Participants are welcome to bring their own choice of text to work on.
