Suite em Branco

• Suite em Branco by Swedish-Iranian poet Athena Farrokhzad tells the story of a refugee family in a black discursive line on a white background. This Portuguese translation was presented at Theatre of Bairro Alto -TBA- in Lisbon, Portugal. There was also a book launch at the independent bookstore Poesia Incompleta in Lisbon. The presentation at TBA was included in the programming of the theater under the cycle "Práticas de Leitura" (Reading Practices). Athena and the translators of her work, as well as the publisher and the cover artist read and commented the poem and its themes such as issues of identity and translation that are born out of forced migrations. The events also had the support of the Swedish Embassy in Lisbon; the Swedish Arts Council and the Environmental Humanities Laboratory, at KTH.
