Presentation of the Belarusian translation of A A Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh (Віня-Пых)
This is a joint meeting with the Association of Belarusians in Great Britain which has generously agreed to fund Mr Voranaǔ’s visit to this country.
Vital Voranaǔ was born in 1983 in Hłybokaje. Since 1996 he has been living in Poland. He writes prose, poetry and plays, and also translates, eg Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. He is co-founder and currently Chairman of the Belarusian Cultural & Educational Centre in Poznań. More information can be found on his website www.voranau.com, and his blog http://voranau.livejournal.com/.
Admission free. A collection will be taken towards expenses. Refreshments will be served.
The Ukrainian Institute is located on the corner of Holland Park Avenue (the main road between Notting Hill Gate and Shepherd’s Bush) and the street called simply ‘Holland Park’. There is a statue of St Volodymyr right on the corner in front of the building.
Parking in the area is very difficult. The nearest underground station is Holland Park on the Central Line (almost opposite the Institute). Not far away is Notting Hill Gate station (Central, Circle and District Lines). Buses 31, 94 and 148 stop right outside the Institute. Notting Hill Gate is also served by buses 27, 28, 52, 70, 328, 390, 452.
