What would it look like to have a diverse abundance of human languages brought to life in an interactive virtual environment?
I’m excited to invite you to one of the final MozFest 2022 events that will answer that question! The Rhizome of Babel is an interactive digital project that re-examines the biblical tale of the Tower of Babel from an anti-imperialist and ecological perspective. On June 23rd, the The Rhizome of Babel will be transformed into an interactive world that envisions the abundance and diversity of human languages – an ecosystem in its own right – as an alternative vision of prosperity that privileges biodiversity over monoculture, opacity over transparency, relationality over hierarchy.
“Tell us a story about the first time you realized that your mother tongue could communicate something that other languages could not.”
During the event, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute your voice to the project by answering the above question. The prompt is meant to be simple enough to be easily understood but complex and nuanced enough to elicit multiple kinds of responses.
Looking forward to seeing you at this exciting event,
Temi Popo
