Our Language | Opening Event
Event description
Join us at the DADAA Fremantle Gallery for the opening of Our Language.
Presented by Perth Festival and DADAA
What languages do you speak? Do you speak the language of your parents? Your grandparents?
Language encompasses words, symbols, non-verbal sounds, and actions. Where language expresses cultural hierarchies and values, translation becomes a process of transferring these cultural meanings from one language to another, mediating between cultures and negotiating difference.
This exhibition features video, soft sculpture, zines, and print works, from artists Alter Boy, Fayen d’Evie, Nastaran Ghadiri, Zou Mat Je, and Josh Ophel, as they navigate between languages with empathy and creativity, exploring what language can tell us about the world and our place in it.
