Co-produced with Masresha Getahun Wondmu, Tsige Haile, Binyam Zenebe and Nuria López de la Oliva Mena. For many years, English has been the international language of power, and first-language English speakers benefit from often unacknowledged advantages around the world. What if the roles were reversed? For this event, Amharic-speaking Manchester residents interpret Ethiopian artist Robel Temesgen’s imagined newspaper headlines in their own words for English-speaking audiences – reconsidering the balance of power between publisher, reader, translator and listener in the age of fake news and ‘alternative facts’.
