The conjuncture of globalisation, increased migration and digitisation 
has created new spaces for communication, social and cultural exchanges 
and encounters. Both in online and offline environments across the 
globe, we experience an increase in plurilingualism and 
multiculturalism. Further, digital technologies have made communication 
increasingly multimodal as we switch or swipe between images, text, 
memes, emoticons, sound clips, etc. In today’s complex societal 
ecologies where multiple languages and modalities are simultaneously 
available for communication, it is vital to develop enhanced literacies 
capable of fostering individual and community agency and engagement for 
this highly interconnected but fragmented world. The role of 
translation, between languages (interlingual) and between media 
(intersemiotic), is central to such an undertaking.

In March 2021, we set up the international Experiential Translation 
Network to investigate interlingual and intersemiotic translation as a 
method of creation and communication, as a method for learning and 
teaching, collaboration and participation within multilingual, 
multicultural and multimodal settings.

At the forthcoming conference we will share some of the work we have 
conducted within the network alongside contributions from a range of 
international scholars and practitioners who submitted proposals to our 
open call for interventions. We’d like to invite anyone with an interest 
in translation, whether literary, technical, artistic, professional or 
amateur, to attend the 3 days of talks, presentations, performances and 
workshops that comprise our conference and join us in the ongoing 
enquiry into what translation can, or needs to, be and do.
