Building a solidarity economy: Creating a cooperative economy for activist translators
Conversations with Gamechangers: Guerrilla Translation
This webinar is the sixth of a series of conversations with radical grass-roots solidarity economy organisations across the world who are breaking new ground in their own contexts while building power in their communities.
Solidarity Economy Strategies for a New and Better World
Hosted by SEA and the Translation Commune, each webinar will include multilingual translation and interpretation, to share and internationalise local knowledge, experience and strategy.
These events will take place on the second Saturday of each month via Zoom, with live simultaneous interpretation in Arabic, English, French, Kurdish (Kurmancî), Punjabi, Spanish and Turkish.
The zoom link for the meeting will be shared before the event.
Guerrilla Translation is an activist commons-oriented cooperative created to share ideas between communities and spread the word about things that matter. To help support activist translators and freelancers to use their skills for causes they care about while also making a living, Guerrilla Translation has developed a new kind of livelihood vehicle which combines two functions: a voluntary translation/media collective working for activist causes, and an income-generating cooperative agency providing translation and communication services. This is a form of 'economic resistance'; a means of ethically coherent, sustainable livelihood for knowledge workers, and the creation of a multilingual knowledge commons that upholds open-source, global idea sharing.
