Join us for In Translation: A Book Club, where we explore The Book of Disappearance / سفر الإختفاء, an evocative and profoundly moving novel by Palestinian author Ibtisam Azem. Read the book in either the Arabic original or in the English translation by Sinan Antoon, and join the discussion facilitated by Oula Ghannoum. There will be readings in Arabic and English, as well as interpretation available for those who require it.
Join children's literature mentors and mentees Freda Chiu and Leila Frijat from the MIRROR Mentorship program for an intergenerational workshop in storytelling, illustration, and bookmaking. Participants of all ages will create their own leporello (accordion-fold book) while exploring multilingual stories and creative expression. The session will feature a Lost In Books pop-up with a selection of multilingual books.
