Tongues

Tongues is a gathering, an event, and a performance where performers will re-enact the most mundane daily moments, belt out go-to karaoke songs, and, of course, explore the art of swearing in native Asian languages. Join in as they connect and create new, shared experiences through the power of mother tongues.

Performers of Asian descent will share personal stories of navigating two language worlds, offering a glimpse into the cultural crossroads they live in. You’re invited to join as they connect and create new shared experiences together.

This performance is a part of The Exponential Festival.
