About this event

The BIPOC Literary Translators Caucus, formed at the 2020 American Literary Translators Association Conference (ALTA), is a collective open to all literary translators across the world who identify as BIPOC. We strive to create a space of camaraderie and support; we meet regularly, workshop work in-progress, and share resources. As several of our members are resident in NYC, we decided to hold a reading of our work in Manhattan, to introduce ourselves to the public as well as the local translation/ publishing community, and to promote the importance of literary translation. Yu & Me Books have kindly agreed to host us. This will be a free event. Each reader will read for about five to seven minutes each, and the reading will be followed by mingling over refreshments.

This is a free event generously sponsored by City Artist Corps Grants from New York Foundation of the Arts (NYFA), and kindly hosted by Yu & Me Books at Chinatown, Manhattan in NYC, with limited seating available on a first-come first-served basis. Masks are recommended.

Access to the venue includes a few steps to enter the bookstore, and the bathroom is located down a flight of steps to the basement. However, should any assistance be needed, participants are welcome to reach out to the staff members and event organizers.
