Translation as Activism & Taking Care

Four panels curated by Sejal Shah
In 2020, Sejal Shah was awarded a grant from the Disability Visibility project to support creating an accessible virtual literary event. Working with Writers & Books, she has designed a day of four panels. Her grant underwrites Writing Illness and Beyond the Black and White Binary, offered admission-free to the public.

Translation as Activism & Taking Care
Though historically sidelined by mainstream publishers, translated literature flourishes at small presses and magazines. Listen in as three activist translators read brief excerpts from their recent work, then discuss the importance of bringing into the center of cultural awareness transformative books that disrupt received ideas perpetuated in North American popular culture.  
Panelists: Jenny Bhatt, Wendy Call, Rajiv Mohabir.
Moderator: Jenny Kellogg
