Organized by the Department of Languages and Culture of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (FAH) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ), DIVERSAS showcases 30 culminating projects from the courses of the Bachelor in Portuguese-Chinese Translation Studies for the academic year 2022-2023. The students present their works to the public through a one-month exhibition.

“DIVERSAS – Diversity in Portuguese-Chinese Translation” is a multifaceted display of intercultural and linguistic dialogue between Portuguese and Chinese. This exhibition is the outcome of the students’ effort, dedication, and talent, reflecting the diversity of these two very distinct languages, exploring the translation and interpretation of texts, covering various genres, themes, and fields of knowledge. The diversity of the displayed works reflects not only linguistic richness but also the cultural, social, and historical differences between the Sino-Lusophone worlds.

DIVERSAS invites visitors to explore and discover the plurality of meanings and perspectives that arise throughout the process of teaching and learning languages. Each piece in the exhibition is a testimony to the challenge of translating not only words but also contexts, ideas, and feelings between such rich cultures and traditions.

This event is not only an opportunity to know the work and creativity of our students, but also to reflect on the importance of intercultural dialogue in building a more inclusive and harmonious world. The exhibition is an invitation to reflect on the role of translation in bringing worlds closer together, in understanding other cultures, and in building bridges between people and nations.
