SUMMARY:Copyright Conversation: Zong! The Politics of Translation with M. nourbeSe Philip
DESCRIPTION:PLEO is excited to announce the return of our Copyright Conversations series! Taking Our Voice: Copyright as a Tool to Achieve Equity\, will take a deep dive into the experiences of several artists as they work to navigate complex copyright issues. \nThe first of the series\, planned for Fair Dealing week\, will raise questions of fairness and equity when dealing with issues of translation. PLEO Founder and Legal Director Martha Rans will be joined by writer\, painter and scholar\, Stéphane Martelly\, and Toronto-based poet\, author\, and lawyer M. nourbeSe Philip to discuss Philip’s experience of having her book-length poetry cycle Zong! misrepresented as a result of the text being translated without her consultation. \nRegister Here! \n\n\nAbout M. nourbeSe Philip: \nToronto-based poet\, writer\, and lawyer\, M. nourbeSe Philip has been the recipient of Canada Council awards\, numerous Ontario Arts Council grants and was the recipient of a Toronto Arts Council award.

In 1990\, Philip was made a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry and in 1991 became a McDowell Fellow. In l994\, Philip’s short story\, “Stop Frame” was awarded the Lawrence Foundation Award\, and in 1995 she was awarded the Toronto Arts Award in writing and publishing. \nM. nourbeSe Philip has been recognized for her work as “a revolutionary poet\, writer and thinker” by the Elizabeth Fry Society of Toronto which presented her their 2001 “Rebels for a Cause” award.
