Hear new voices at this festival celebrating writers and artists making work in endangered languages and dialects.

Through poetry, performance, talks, live events and visual art, the festival brings together a remarkable line-up of artists whose work marks the vast impact art has on language and language has on art. This is the first UK creative festival to celebrate the linguistic vitality of countries around the world, as well as the endangered languages and dialects that continue to thrive within the UK.

Co-curated by Sam Winston, an artist whose interdisciplinary practice explores language not only as a carrier of messages but also as a visual form in and of itself, and Chris McCabe, a poet, novelist, artist and Head of the National Poetry Library, the festival promises to introduce audiences to new ways of thinking about and engaging with language.
