Natasha Marin is a conceptual artist and poet obsessed with liminal spaces, especially those that are difficult to render. Currently, she is bridging the gap by working with stateside and international intra-genre artists. Her latest collaboration involves creating multimedia adaptations of her work with local and international artists for a grant-funded project entitled "Graduate-Level Graffiti: Lost in Translation." Her poetry has appeared in several journals including Feminist Studies Journal, The International Poetry Review, and The Caribbean Writer.

Austin, Texas – Local and international artists, poets, musicians, and performers will be coming together on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at the Asian American Cultural Center in Austin to add their talent and expertise to this year’s Graduate-Level Graffiti event.

Lost in Translation is the third in a series of interactive community arts events designed by University of Texas alum, Natasha Marin. As the title suggests, this installation event will focus on the theme of translation. Participating artists will use a variety of media and technology to explore how language can be used to bring together a diverse group of people in an environment where everyone, regardless of socio-economic background or education, can communicate through the process of art-making.
