    Jameel Library | Open Call: The Task of the Translator with Sarasija Subramanian

    The Jameel Library invites you to a week-long research lab developed and facilitated by Sarasija Subramanian.

    Participants will engage with the possibilities of translation—more specifically the relationship between translation and accessibility—as a way to watch, listen to, and read material closely. The week will consist of collective reading, watching, and listening sessions of resources that address ideas of both translation and accessibility in an expanded sense, along with prompt-based exercises that help us think through language, the fallacy of equivalence, subjectivity, and the role that the “original” plays in our worlds.
