New year, new department - a very warm welcome to our first year jewellery students (most pictured here) and welcome back to our second and third years 💛 this year the department sharpens its jewellery focus, while staying connected to that which links us. We are a bigger group so it was wonderful to kick off the semester with a language and translation workshop hosted by @ulufercelik and #alaaabuasad - a very sweet ice-breaker - and are now in Haarlem for a spot of evening pétanque tonight and a numismatic , library and art tour at Teylers Museum, tomorrow!

ZONDAG IN ROTTERDAM
Een ontmoeting met het wezen van de Soefi, met Ulufer Çelik en Lizelot de Stigter
Deze middag en avond geeft je de kans om het wezen van de Soefi in jezelf te ontdekken.
De Soefi leeft in het hart, innig verbonden met de ziel waar het meest intieme en het meest universele zich verenigen. Alles draait om de Liefde.
De Liefde komt tot leven in ons en wordt tot bevrijdende kracht wanneer het hoofd zich neerlegt bij het Hart. Wanneer we ons tot ons hart wenden zijn we innig verbonden met het sacrale.
Velen zijn geraakt door de mystieke overleveringen van bijvoorbeeld Rumi, Hafiz, en Attar. Hun woorden komen voort uit de directe ervaring van het Goddelijke, groter dan het menselijke verstand kan bevatten, maar het hart raakt in vervoering in deze diepe herkenning. Deze overdracht van de Soefi’s is tijdloos en universeel. We herkennen allemaal het wezenlijke.
Op deze dag nemen Lizelot en Ulufer je mee naar die diepte en innigheid in jezelf. Die doorvoelde herkenning van het Goddelijke, aan de hand van bewegingen, Sufi drumming en zang, gevoels-ervaringen, contemplatie en meditatie op mystieke gedichten, muziek, en Zikr (Soefi gebed), en ecstatische dans zoals het wervelen. Meer info onder dit bericht.

We are excited to welcome Alaa Abu Asad and Ulufer Çelik for a summer residency at Greylight Projects, where they will continue to develop their work on translation.

After meeting during their studies, Alaa Abu Asad and Ulufer Çelik started compiling lists of shared words in their mother tongues: vernacular Palestinian Arabic and Turkish. The work developed into a publishing project entitled I Love It When Translation Can Be Found To Agree With Our Weird Desires, combining text, drawings, performance and an artistic-pedagogical format used in informal and lively group sessions (from 2019 - ongoing). In their words: "It is a process that can last for good – as long as our friendship lives. We spend time together uttering words that are held in common and draw them, discovering whether they carry the same meaning, are slightly different, or are false friends."

The work embodies the relational act of translation, what Teju Cole once described as "literary analysis mixed with sympathy, a matter for the brain as well as the heart". Words in both languages that resemble in meaning and sound offer a spark of recognition, a familiarity through distance, while "false friends", words that resemble in sound but carry different meanings, are welcomed as a moment of inquiry or enjoyment. One word can lead to many other words, histories, anecdotes, memories, other word-worlds to carry and to be carried across.

Earlier this year, Alaa and Ulufer were participating artists in trans→actie, a lively co-creation project around multilingualism and translation, organized by Greylight Projects and ISK Emma, an international school for young people who have recently migrated to the Netherlands (and who brought an abundance of languages to the conversation). During their summer residency they will continue expanding this work, welcoming new conversation partners around the wor(l)ds that they have carried with them.
