Translations
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.

Life Is Beautiful
“What we experienced in Bakur, how it feels and how it will change us, has to do with real people and their stories.”
Rojava Caught Between Fronts
It is conceivable that any movement towards Russia would sharply reduce sympathy in the West for Rojava, without anything about its political and social project having changed.
