A translator whose work was used by the British Museum without her permission won a victory this week after reaching a settlement with the institution, following two months of negotiations and online campaigning — with a little help from the fans of K-pop superstars BTS. The museum came under fire in June after reports emerged that it had used writer Yilin Wang’s translations of 19th century poems by the feminist and revolutionary Qiu Jin for its exhibition “China’s hidden century.
The fans “had a whole fundraising campaign going on … coordinating and boosting it on social media,” Wang said. “They really care about translators, which I really appreciate.” “It really showed me the collective power, as communities coming together to demand accountability from institutions,” she added. The fundraiser meant Wang was able to obtain legal representation. The British Museum’s director Hartwig Fischer reached out soon after, she said.
