Translation can be a necessity, but it can also be an act of generosity and, ultimately, knowledge sharing. The intricacy and complexities of interlingual translation is often not apparent to those who do not rely on it, but James Nguyen: Open Glossary at ACCA lays bare this process – one that is collaborative, evolving, incomplete and, often, imperfect.
Open Glossary was envisioned as an open source multilingual translation of queer terms that took its cue from Xu’s open letter to their community during the US Black Lives Matter protests in 2016.
