LANGUAGE and the SPACE IN-BETWEEN EXHIBITION

Language and the Space in-between exhibition was a project that started in March 2020, starting with a Zine that came out in August 2020 and ended with an Exhibition in November 2021. The ‘Language and the Space In-between’ research exhibition sort to provide a space for the artists featured to further their explorations as they explored the power that language possesses by considering semiotics and symbolic meanings as well as aesthetic utilization. We considered what it is to be told, to be confused, to be interpreted, and to be misunderstood. Some artists addressed language by looking at the loss of their mother tongue, reflecting on barriers within language and their heritage, and addressing duality. There is also a strong use of literal and visual poetry within the exhibition, as the artists explore their relationship with language, reading, words, and the world around us. They consider the ways in which words can be used and manipulated. This exhibition was to be used as a source of inspiration, to elicit conversation surrounding the topic. The exhibition features over 16 femxle artists across multiple disciplines, with all the profits from the Zine going towards the no-profits, Artists in Transit and Choose Love.
