Helping foreign workers feel included in Singapore: Art collective and university students add Bengali subtitles to English movie.

Some foreign workers in Singapore were given a glimpse of what it would be like to be included in an English-centric country, when an arts collective and students from Nanyang Technological University decided to translate an English movie to Bengali.

The idea of having the screening came about when the collective’s lead Kari Tamura Chua decided to reach out to school administrations in the various universities, spokesperson Eleanor Goh told Coconuts Singapore. When Kari contacted the school administrations, the various universities redirected them to student leaders who come from various backgrounds; the NTU students come from majors such as public policy and law.
