A Hundred Languages extends on the Reggio Emilia approach of early childhood, which views children’s creativity as having boundless modes of expression. Asking, what methods of making can be challenged by asking artists to play with their languages of self-expression? Adult creatives Lia Dewey Morgan and Juliet Phraser explore this curatorial framework in conversation with artists of intersectional identities and occupations of care, Luyuan Zhang, Mel Deerson, Ruth O’Leary, and Sam Kariotis. Together, a soft and inviting space of sculptures, poetry, drawings and personal narratives invites audiences to reflect on their developed modes of making and communicating.
