LOST IN TRANSLATION is an exhibition exploring what it is like to live in another country. Settling into another culture is an emotional process. The wonderment of things being different - cars on the other side of the road, learning to talk at great length about the weather and the tube announcements in an alien language. You take it all in with all your senses, initially feeling displaced and uprooted at the beginning, but gradually creating your own environment and identity.

We are looking for visual art (photography, painting, drawing or print) and literary (in English) works that are about this process, drawing from the artist's own experience of living in the UK (Czech artists) or in the Czech Republic (British artists).

The final selection will be exhibited at the Riverside Studios London between 1-19 November, and on the Czech Centre website as part of the New Czech Cinema Festival.

Curated by Michaela Freeman, organized by the Czech Centre London.

To submit your work, please email up to two examples of your work or your literary piece relevant to the theme, together with a proposal, by 31 August 2010 to lostintranslationexhibition (at) gmail.com
