STURM AND SLANG: Annual Program 2024

Crossdisciplinary Others

A series of performances, lectures, round tables and workshops around language - from slang to queer linguistics.

By exploring language affects specific to artists, poets, writers and activists, Sturm and Slang intends to illuminate the various processes of adaptation, evolution, and hybridization–from slang to queer linguistics–amidst great geopolitical changes and cultural upheavals. The spring-fall 2024 program at Pickle Bar takes a closer look at the transformation and disruption of languages as a means of forging new ways of being and identity in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, the Middle East, the Baltics and Central Asia and their significant diaspora communities. A series of performances, lectures, round tables and workshop investigates the spaces for inclusivity and linguistic affinities from acoustic, visual and semantic perspectives to celebrate and redeem the necessarily fluid nature of language as an agency of self-determination and empowerment. Curators (Slavs and Tatars): Patricia Couvet, Anastasia Marukhina Participants: Mina Masoumi, Nino Dava, Diliara Brileva, Urok Shirhan, Zhenia Moliar, Vova Vorotniov, Hussein Nassereddine, Daniel Kotowski, Natalia Papaeva, Agnieszka Matkowska, Tudebei Khandama, Timur Zolotoev, Fatma Cheffi, Still Fatma”, Agnė Jokšė, Mila Panić, Qalqalah قلقلة, Mekhitar Garabedian, Garine Gokceyan, more TBA.
