A poster announces an event, for which guests from Cameroon, India, and Lebanon were invited to orally translate excerpts from Courierspeak, a phrase-book for couriers of museum objects.

A slightly moderated event, open to participation for whoever was present, Courierspeak set off a discussion about translation, the cultural codedness of vocabularies, the origins of public collections, as well as the current power relations in international museum collections and their discourse.
