Articles and interviews translated by the Antidote Writers Collective. Note that we also feature translations from other sources as well, but do not include them here.
Incidentally, translation (mainly from German or Spanish into English) is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re translating we also accept permission to post as fair reward.
