The MA Curatorial Practice program at the School of Visual Arts is pleased to present Lost and Found: On Translation, curated by Diana Isabel Colón. The exhibition engages with the multiplicity and historicity of language and how it manifests in individual and collective identities. Translation becomes more than a literary practice, evolving into one that involves people and cultures. Translation, however, is imperfect, sometimes forming gaps in understanding. To mend those gaps, empathy can serve as a supplement to the act of translation, transcending language and fostering human relationships.
