“Translation is a gateway to countless experiences: artistic, educational, political, and more,” says Aviva Palencia ’22.

Palencia is pursuing a double major in Spanish and linguistics with a certificate in translation and interpreting studies. Last summer, she had a special opportunity to put her studies to work by translating into Spanish the materials for an exhibition, We Are For Freedoms, at the University Museum of Contemporary Art (UMCA).

The translation project, a first for the campus, was a collaboration between UMCA and the UMass Translation Center. The exhibition consists of a collection of posters from local and regional artists expressing their interpretations of freedom. It’s part of a public program series in partnership with For Freedoms, a national nonprofit arts organization that works to increase creative civic engagement, discourse, and action.
