The Translator’s Task is a multi-media exhibit that will occur after a series of cross-genre translation workshops. The exhibit will highlight translation as an act of resistance that allows those on the margins to speak back to and confront the systems of power in which language is siloed. The exhibit will interrogate how English functions as an abstraction that demarcates, (dis)empowers, organizes, authorizes, and ultimately makes a world through a totalizing violence. Through translation, both artist and audience, will discover what new worlds can be wrought from this wreckage, what must be reclaimed and reconstituted in one’s own words.
