Trinity Centre for Literary & Cultural Translation

A conversation on journeys, cultural heritage and silence as paths that lead to the creation and discovery of new universes

Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation

Absorbed in this journey with ISLA, we are conscious of the quest that leads us to review the past as we move forward in search of new lands. Shouldering their backpacks, half-filled with supplies, our three guests have written of Caribbean archipelagos, journeys between islands, and cultural heritage, not to mention the inevitable fissures and silences that go with them and the chance to weave new nets and find a way forward. We listen in to their dialogue, which is also our own.
