Guernica Remakings, South Africa, research into the practice of cross-cultural translation through making.

自从巴勃罗·毕加索创作《格尔尼卡》（1937年）以来，这幅画以各种形式被复制和再创作，跨越了美术的界限。位于南非东开普省的Keiskamma艺术项目自2010年以来已经四次重塑格尔尼卡。他们对毕加索标志性的反法西斯艺术作品的翻译将其地理，时间和叙事从西班牙转变为南非，从20世纪初到21世纪初，从反法西斯主义到艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机。本研究项目通过创作第五本《格尔尼卡》来关注这一跨文化翻译过程，并问为什么是《格尔尼卡》？探索这幅艺术作品适合改编的地方。一系列的12部短纪录片记录了这件艺术品的制作过程。制作者将接受采访，以他们自己的声音讨论他们在制作过程中的角色，以及他们对《格尔尼卡》视觉翻译的见解，以评论南非的艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机。制作者也将有机会表达他们对变革的想法和需求，这些想法和需求将被包含在创造他们对未来愿景的视频中。这些视频将通过Guernicaremakings.com、Vimeo （Guernica Remakings）、youtube和布莱顿大学（University of Brighton）资源库的专用频道在网上广泛发布。2017年7月至8月在英国布莱顿举办的格尔尼卡历史回顾展恰逢其时，它标志着格尔尼卡镇被轰炸80周年。这是一种确保《格尔尼卡》再版中所载信息的跨国相关性能够传播到不同地区的机制。在英国退出欧洲的时期，这一点尤其令人痛苦，部分原因似乎是对“他人”行动自由的恐惧，格尔尼卡的人道主义信息再次成为现实，呼吁超越国界的团结和同情。

Since Pablo Picasso's creation of Guernica (1937), the painting has been reproduced and recreated in many forms traversing the confines of fine art. The Keiskamma Art Project located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa have remade Guernica four times since 2010. Their translation of Picasso's iconic anti-fascist artwork transforms its geography, time and narrative from: Spain to South Africa, from the early 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, from anti-fascism to the HIV/AIDS crisis. This research project focuses on this process of cross-cultural translation through the creation of a fifth Keiskamma Guernica and asks why Guernica? Exploring what it is about this artwork that lends itself to being adapted. A series of twelve short documentary films record the making of this artwork. The makers will be interviewed and in their own voices will discuss their role in the making process and their insights regarding the visual translation of Guernica to comment on the HIV / AIDS crisis in South Africa. The makers will also be given the opportunity to express their ideas and needs for change, which will be included in the videos creating their vision of the future. The videos will be made widely available through the publication of the videos online through Guernicaremakings.com, via a dedicated channel on Vimeo (Guernica Remakings), You Tube and the University of Brighton repository. The Guernica Remakings exhibition in Brighton, UK (Jul-Aug 2017) is timely it marks the 80th year from the bombing of the town of Guernica. It is a mechanism for ensuring that the transnational relevance of the messages held within the remakings of Guernica can travel to different regions. This is particularly poignant in a period when the UK is withdrawing from Europe, in part, motivated it seems by fear around the freedom of movement of 'others' Guernica's humanitarian message becomes relevant once again calling for solidarity and compassion transcending borders.
