Translator #2 2025

Translator Issue #2 expands our journey beyond the Anglosphere, bringing together an even wider network of contributors from around the world.

Inside, you’ll find investigative and deeply human stories translated into English from leading publications in Brazil, Tunisia, Japan, Belgium, Sweden and beyond. Discover Muhammad al-Zaqzouq’s profound essay on fatherhood under siege in Gaza, Tunisia’s environmental activists fighting back against industrial pollution, and how three young Dutchmen cornered the nitrous oxide market.

Plus: Ishan Tankha’s striking photo essay on Nepal’s Gen Z revolt, Fairuza Hanun reviews Khairani Barokka’s Annah, Infinite, and our first print edition of Read Between the Lines, where Jessie Lau unpacks media narratives around China’s ‘Mask Park incident’.
