Voicings
Voicings is a combination fine arts festival and scholarly symposium that explores the social ramifications of language. At its heart, language is communication. When viewed socially, it encompasses the multiplicity of ways we use to represent ourselves to one another. Taken one step further, we realize these various methods of representation have the potential to either reinforce or subvert our notions of the larger structures that make up society. "Voicings" operates under the belief that language has the power to embolden or unnerve, to liberate or suppress. In short, it is anything but benign.
