(Trans)literate art
In today's globalized world, using thousands of spoken languages and hundreds of scripts induce many challenges. Language entails more than mere communication, as it also conveys identity, culture, and power dynamics between societal groups. Artists make their voice known within the debate on the role language, multilingualism, and translation can play. Their search for a way to deal with our multilingual world can fuel, question, or examine the current debate.
