Description

Translation: A collection of texts reflecting on the cultural and political complexities of translation in global contemporary artistic practices.

The movement of global populations has led to an increased task of translation, which underlies contemporary culture. This anthology explores how artists, poets, and theorists negotiate identities through language, knowledge production, and interaction. It considers the limitations of expression and the importance of translation in a world of multiple perspectives.

Featuring contributions from prominent writers and artists, including Hannah Arendt, James Baldwin, and Shirin Neshat, among others, this timely anthology provides insight into the ongoing role of translation in cultural navigation and understanding.
