Looking for Language Artists

The other day I saw this short film by Steffie Yee. In it, she looks at the inheritance of language in her family and laments what is lost when a language is lost. 'The Lost Sound' was created using strata-cut plasticine, colored pencil, paper, and ink. I thought it was such a creative form of storytelling and it made me realize that I haven’t really seen much art about Language.

If you have any films, books, articles, or links, please send them my way. I’d love to check them out and learn more! At some point, I intend to bring other artists into this project and I’d love to learn about other people creating work around this topic.

With Mixed Feelings,
