Tracing Language: A Drawing Workshop

 

 

Join SAVAC, East Scarborough Storefront and Cedar Ridge for a two day art-making workshop

 

Workshops will focus on experiences with the use of multiple languages. Using visual art we will focus discussions around the role of language within and beyond an immigrant experience.

 

What does language give you access to, where does it hinder you?

How does language help you relate, retell, reassert?

How is language replaced, reinvented, reinvigorated?

Where has language played a pivotal role in your experiences, when has it seemed unnecessary?

 

Come join us for an intergenerational workshop. We encourage participants from all ages, and particularly urge grandparents to come share their stories. Facilitators will be available to help translate for Tamil and Bengali speakers.
