[35] the limits of my language mean the limits of my world


Hello

Our knowledge is limited to the language we know. The culture we interact limit the understanding we have. The world we see is not the same with everyone. So we have become greedy in the pursuit of understanding. Wanting to see everything, understand anything but giving nothing. To create something new is to weave the knowledge we have. Despite the limit, the inability to know everything, something can be created. Created for someone with limited resource to pursue the love they have. Someone that surrender the immense commitment in learning new language and culture.

This is a love letter to all translated media. Anime with fansubs, translation of the obscure short stories, algerian movie with yellow english subs, scanlations of retro manga, all kind of raw media with fan translation. All that happen because of love and understanding. Because we care to know about the other side of the culture.


foreign media lover,
reesa
