The British Museum has apologized after using a translator’s work in an exhibition on Chinese history without pay or acknowledgment
The show, which featured 19th century Chinese works including poems by feminist and revolutionary Qiu Jin, didn’t seem to include credits for translators, a friend told Wang. And yet, the Qiu Jin translations seemed to lift directly from Wang’s own work — was she involved in the exhibit? No, Wang replied: She’d never been contacted by the museum, which used her work without permission, pay or acknowledgment.
But to Wang, the scope of the project made her erasure sting all the more. “How exactly did this happen?” she said. “It was funded by a research grant that was over 700,000 pounds. These researchers had four years to research, they must have gathered translations and created all these different formats.
