A panel discussion about the minority language with guests: Nina Witoszek and Ewa Sapieżyńska
Interart_s is thrilled to invite to a thought-provoking panel discussion that explores the relationship between language and identity, particularly in the context of exile.
Our guests, Nina Witoszek and Ewa Sapieżyńska, will share their expertise and insights in a captivating conversation that delves into the role of language in shaping our sense of self when we are far away from home.
The discussion, moderated by Agata Dulawa, will explore questions like: What impact does speaking a minority language have on our cultural identity when we are in exile? How does language shape our experiences and interactions in a foreign land? We encourage the audience to participate actively in this stimulating conversation.
The discussion is a part of the Show the Language programme, aimed at promoting social inclusion and equality for artists with disabilities.
Date and time: 27th April, 19:30
Place: Kunstnernes Hus
