Last week I had the pleasure of participating in the Literary Translation Lab, a new initiative of Indonesia’s Ministry of Culture, as a guest tutor. The program incorporated lectures, discussions, and workshopping of translations with a select group of fifteen translators. I learned so much from my fellow presenter and tutor Andry Septiawan, both a translator of Japanese and Korean literature and a publisher; fellow mentor, writer and translator Dalih Sembiring; and our moderator, writer and translator Dhianita Pertiwi ; and of course our lovely participants who included accomplished translators, writers, teachers, and scholars.
