Project title
A Carnival of Voices from the Margins: Keeping Wales in Europe through Translation
Description of initiative
Literary translation project aiming to:
1). Support marginalised voices and groups by translating literature of lesser-spoken languages into English that touches on issues of old age, alienation, disability, strained family relations, mental health, suicide, immigration, and displacement.
2). Develop and expand the audience for translated literature from those languages, particularly by building links with academics that teach translation and European Literature and through inclusion of those titles in translation journals and book clubs.
3). Make translated literature more readily available in digital formats through the creation of e-books.
