This free exhibition and events features a visual showcase of five new poems, a major new artwork commission – Seed Syllable – by visual artist Sam Winston.

Come and join a host of poets, artists and creators in celebrating our linguistic freedom. There are over 7000 languages worldwide that can be written in over 300 different alphabets and scripts, yet that number is shrinking dramatically. Drop in on Manchester School of Art, Cavendish Street to explore why that is and discover a diverse cast of creatives that are bringing endangered languages and stories to life.
