The concept of TraducLations is not only new and untrodden territory but it tells a story that is so relevant and necessary in these current times. A story of embracing other cultures, languages, identifying the borders between us and breaking them down, of immigration, racism and the stresses that underly any relationship involving visas. TraducLations is a new age love story that we hope will have the ability to inspire thought and provoke change.
