The art of literary translation | Natasha Sondakh | TEDxJIS

If Indonesia’s beauty can be unlocked through its literature, why have we kept it a mystery? Indonesia dwells on the philosophy of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika: unity in diversity. Yet, many foreigners who want to understand this country’s unique culture are unable to due to an evident language barrier.
Natasha Sondakh, a 16-year-old published poet, journalist and translator who constantly seeks meaningful conversations, explores Indonesia and the role of literature in influencing people’s lives. A global citizen with her heart in philanthropy, Natasha hopes to pursue an education in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) as well as publish her own poetry anthology. She is a published poet, journalist and translator who constantly seeks meaningful conversations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Everyone knows Bali and goes there but they don't know Indonesia, the irony.

[@bogdanghiurco]

The lecture really starts at 3:24. If one may call it a lecture.

[@Liliquan]

One may not, given that it is a speech. And it actually starts from 0:00.

[@dfordb9]

sounds likes balls, sweaty balls

[@CristinaB228]

Not very nice, Mr. Ghiurco. Not very manly.
