And why? The lack of translation of Southeast Asian letters – whether between the region’s languages or into major world languages like Mandarin and English – has been a barrier to the greater understanding of our neighbours. We have shared traumas and colonial histories with an understanding to build a common ASEAN ‘community’. But there has been little effort in creating ways of reading the past and the present. How do we create a model that is sustainable for writers, translators, publishers and distributors within the region? How can we create something that will last?Room: Heaven (Level 2)Updatestag:peatix.com,2018-10-31 02:21:062018-10-31 02:21:06The event description was updated. Diff#383689
