Hear from Rachel Lichtenstein, who has been learning her heritage language of Yiddish to inform the book she is writing, a journey she will share at this event. And if you have never been in the presence of an Archdruid, now is your moment as Mererid Hopwood performs her work and talks of her role in activating the Welsh language through poetry. All performers will take part in a Q and A exploring questions at the heart of the Voiced festival: how can creativity help keep a language alive? What is the role of the young in language activation? And how might we think of the relationship between language and landscape?This event will have British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation available.About VoicedThis event is part of the Voiced Festival of Endangered Languages.
