Challenging Inequalities

From stories and histories to identities and ways of understanding the world, we lose more than words when a language disappears.

Journalist Sophia Smith Galer uncovers the human stories behind a global crisis.

Len Pennie’s poetry celebrates the power of language as a tool for identity, resistance and connection.

Together, they explore the fight to protect the languages at risk of vanishing.

Through conversation, poetry and storytelling, they ask what is lost when voices fall silent and what we can do to ensure the languages, cultures and communities of tomorrow continue to thrive.

Chaired by Ann Morgan.

There will be a book signing after this event.
