About:
Language shapes the structures of our world: Who gets to speak? Who is silenced? Who is harmed in this imbalance? In their stunning blend of memoir and manifesto, Bad Language, So Mayer draws on their multi-lingual childhood and cultural texts (from the Torah to the Brothers Grimm) to interrogate how language has been used – and abused – across their own life. Join us for a rousing conversation about taking back language for protest and pleasure. Chaired by Sasha de Buyl.
