Reworlding Celan
March 17, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
The Center for Imagination in the Borderlands invites you and your students to Reworlding Celan. This conversation brings together poets Carolina Ebeid and Athena Farrokhzad for a grounding with Matakyev Fellows Christian Campbell and Claire Schwartz about the meanings and possibilities of living with the work of Jewish German-language poet Paul Celan. In the wake of Celan’s centennial in 2020, this online gathering seeks to celebrate his life and reworld his work across borders of language, geography, and material, towards questions of dispossession, state violence, translation, aesthetics, and freedom. What routes might be opened up by bringing Celan’s poetry into conversation with Indigenous and diasporic communities? What new ways of being together can we imagine through and with the poetry of Paul Celan?
1 – 2:30 pm MST
(2 pm MDT / 4 pm EDT / 9 pm CET)
The event will have ASL interpretive services as well as closed captioning.
Imagined by Christian Campbell, curated by Christian Campbell & Claire Schwartz
