🎉 Celebrating 80 years of Rutgers-Newark ()... and 10 years of Lives in Translation ()!
“A Feeling of Itself”, a three-part program developed by Project for Empty Space (), Lives in Translation (), and the Design Consortium at Rutgers University–Newark, is unfolding across multiple Newark sites from March through June. 🌟
A Feeling of Itself explores the richness and complexity of living between languages and is rooted in the concept of “arraigo,” which is a sense of belonging shaped through one’s roots. Through bilingual interviews, photography, typography, and data visualization, the exhibition illuminates how translation becomes a powerful form of cultural connection. It brings together data on languages spoken across Rutgers campuses, the city of Newark, and the state of New Jersey, alongside student-generated text reflecting the lived experiences of multilingual speakers and their role as language brokers.
A Feeling of Itself celebrates multilingualism as a creative and civic strength that defines Newark’s past, present, and future.
The exhibition is open until June 1, 2026, at Project for Empty Space , 800 Broad St., Tuesday-Friday, 11am-6pm.
