Well-Settled: A Vietnamese Translation Workshop

We return once again with another translation workshop with materials from the archive! In this one-off session, we'll be looking at a poem by Đỗ Trung Quân, a celebrated poet whose works have been turned into songs.

The focus of the session will be the poem “Huế 1998” which appeared in a magazine inside the An Việt Archives collection.

As always, knowledge of the Vietnamese language is not required; a guide translation will be provided. The aim of these workshops is to allow people to connect with the Vietnamese language in their own way, and to engage with An Việt Archives.

It's a Pay What You Can, and your contribution will help us continue our work as volunteers.

*Snacks will be provided!
