Isthmus Zapotec poet Víctor Terán reads new work from Gato Negro Ediciones’ new series avión featuring poetry in translation from Oaxaca, Kurdistan, and more. This trilingual reading (Zapotec, Spanish, English) will be followed by a conversation between Gato Negro founder León Muñoz Santini and avión series editor Shook to discuss the importance and challenge of expanding the range of available literatures in translation for both Spanish- and English-language readerships.

Translation is a major theme of the Bookshelf Residency at ICA LA with Gato Negro Ediciones and Phoneme Media, titled PÁJAROS INVISIBLE(S) BIRDS!>:* SINGING SILENTLY REFLECTING CANTANDO;). The first three publications in the avión series will be available for purchase at ICA LA until July 17.

This event will take place virtually over Zoom.
