Making Across Languages: Translation as Part of the Creative Process

A piece of work rarely moves through only one language, context or audience.

Bringing together practitioners from different creative fields, this opening conversation considers the many ways translation continues to shape artistic practice in Singapore today, not as a single method or moment, but as an evolving conversation between languages, creators and audiences.
