Recommendations for Practicing Language Justice

Sound piece commissioned by The Engine Room to reflect on language justice.

The piece is divided into three parts:
1. Chaos: represents the maelstrom and disorder in traditional communication.
2. The Natural vs the Artificial: an ecosystem that does not exist to explore the naturalness and artificiality of communication.
3. Narration and Language: a poem to meditate on how my accent has changed since I migrated; a desire to recover the lost language.

Piece in collaboration with activist Gillian Williams.
Thank you Gillian for your valuable contributions!
