Living Translation
A National Conversation Event with Ali Smith

The Southbank Centre was host to the third National Conversation event on Wednesday 3 December, where Ali Smith gave a sparkling provocation on Living Translation. 

If you missed the event, we’re pleased to provide you with the recording below. Following Ali’s flowing words, event Chair, Daniel Hahn, skillfully moderated the conversation and Q&A alongside writer and film maker, Xiaolu Guo, translator Margaret Jull Costa OBE and our provocateur, Ali Smith.

To complement your listening, you can also view a selection of images from the evening , taken by photographer, Belinda Lawley. 

And it gets better. Throughout the events we live tweet in order to get your thoughts on the  provocation and the discussion that follows. To give you a taste of what was said, have a read through this Storify created by WCN Communications Intern, Elizabeth Hankins.
