"This interdisciplinary course is an exploration of soundscapes, rhythms, gestures, and movements, which inhabit languages. We will listen to different languages and explore different ways of perceiving them, from their physicality and linguistic dimensions to their cultural meanings and their consequent narratives. We will use a different range of documents and materials, from which it is possible to explore the encounter with differences across languages, through a variety of expressions as ways of writing, drawing, singing, listening, and talking. This course will be taught in English, although it’s possible to work in Portuguese, French, and English or in other languages for creative expression. Assignments and work in class will focus on imagination and creativity, using different supports such as writing, drawing, painting, video making, performance, and photography. "
