Villa Arson is pleased to announce the publication of Unlearning Through Translation: A Critical and Collective Practice by Virginie Bobin, a new title in the collection ‘Scratching the surface’, edited by Alice Dusapin and Sophie Orlando. Based on practical experiments, Unlearning with Translation posits the act of translation as a pedagogical tool, a political act, and ultimately a gesture of care in these tense cultural times.
