ACTIVATE Innovators is a project incubator designed to support arts leaders as they grow an idea into a fully-planned project. Labkhand presented Bi-Lingering part of this program! https://www.artsforla.org/innovators2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/1625603826114-XTNA3Y9YCH6ER21WRLST/IMG_4460_2.jpg News It was a celebratory evening of candid conversations between the artists and fellow Bi-Lingerers, including readings of participants’ submitted letters, sharing reflections on what it means to be a Bi-Lingerer, and a poetry reading video presentation by poet Sahar Muradi titled “Ghazal for Mothers and Tongues”. Bi-Lingering explores the power of language and the duality of existing between cultures, an extension of Olfatmanesh and Samizay’s ongoing collaborative project Woven, which uses their experiences as women of Iranian and Afghan heritage to look at the way cultural expectations and the effects of war transcend borders. The project represents that in-between space where one belongs to two (or more) languages and cultures. It investigates the way memories and trauma express themselves differently in one’s native language vs. a second language. https://www.bilingering.com/digitalletterkit daily 0.75 2023-04-11 https://www.bilingering.com/bus daily 0.75 2023-04-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/1626972877854-QUSIATUW8GJ2PQS7WDZK/Screen+Shot+2021-07-18+at+11.09.08+AM.png Bus Campaign - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/7f86743e-8aec-4a74-8c1d-2b43e5780056/02-LAB_8509-1500.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/127b586c-a39e-4015-a899-04ca98102a58/01-LAB_8467-1500.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/1624865414132-LAFYJWWJKMI7JPPSNBG7/CAClogo_stackedRGB.png Bus Campaign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/1626972968550-ZV0TDNKW224XYCXDB9MY/Pas_Logo-1024x205-B%26W.jpg Bus Campaign https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/1624865644021-5B0RTFAG143RFAJE2GIS/L_02.png Bus Campaign https://www.bilingering.com/take-action daily 0.75 2021-07-03 https://www.bilingering.com/canceled-donation daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://www.bilingering.com/donation-thank-you daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://www.bilingering.com/workshop-flyer daily 0.75 2023-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/605e6992bd7bc13e294d34a0/4655ad96-0eb4-46fd-ae2c-f44bd746f44c/Bi-Lingering+Workshop-web.jpg workshop flyer https://www.bilingering.com/portfolio-2 daily 0.75 2021-06-17 https://www.bilingering.com/portfolio-2/project-six-n33wx monthly 0.5 2020-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847421455-8JW2CPL3ZB56F2Z8ACLN/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847422112-G7ETRT5C07KF9PHFAV96/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847420762-AGPM8HHB51L8F01AAZN7/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Six https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847420322-U8QPDYBOD6HXYRSL8QW0/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Six https://www.bilingering.com/portfolio-2/project-five-aekma monthly 0.5 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847419260-TLMPOGZEKRIR09EDXNAA/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847419968-YLRD4TYV9QU8K9LW04SP/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847418911-D6BSPWP8P3O9YAF5R3SO/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847418431-66X2HHF6ZNWKOC9VHLZI/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847417789-TGDSX064I3PZELTJI8Q1/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847417384-6R65UAAJW6EW4KUCUT6U/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847416982-R2067X6OPKY3MG304FSJ/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 - Project Five https://www.bilingering.com/portfolio-2/project-four-zrkfr monthly 0.5 2020-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847905386-9EM9GLHE12726EXM68S4/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio 2 - Project Four - Make it stand out.
