Anoud Hafez is a translator for Global Voices in Arabic. Her translation of the article “Animating a love letter to her Ukrainian roots: An interview with stop-motion animator Tamara Finlay” from English to Arabic has been nominated for Lingua's Translated Story Showcase.
On a recurring basis, Lingua Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations to feature in the showcase. When it comes to Anoud's story translation, Mohamed ElGohary, a Lingua Translation Manager for Arabic at Global Voices, commented:
The translation brilliantly captures the psychological and cultural dimensions of the Ukrainian diaspora and hybrid identity, using a warm, sensitive tone that deeply resonates with the Arabic-speaking reader.
Congratulations, Anoud! Take a look at her translation on the Global Voices Arabic website:
في صورة رسوم متحركة، خطاب حب لجذورها في أوكرانيا: مقابلة مع فنانة إيقاف الحركة تمارا فينلاي
في عالم مفكك، تؤدي رسومها المتحركة دور الجسور- شاعرية ومقصودة كردة فعل على الفقد وانقطاع التواصل
