Language exhibitions in Australia

[Patrick McConvell]

There has been a travelling exhibition on languages going around in
Germany that I heard about in Leipzig last year - I'll see if I can find
details

Good morning All, 

I hope this email finds you well.

We're about to open a travelling regional exhibition at the local WA
Museum called Nganhungu Wangga - Our Languages. 

It will focus on the speakers from several languages in the Mid West
region of WA and their journeys through life in varying situations that
did/did not allow them to continue their way of living and
communicating. The exhibition mainly attempts to encourage the audience
to understand the actions of dominant society of the  past and present,
and the impact on identity and human rights.

Is anyone aware of any language focused exhibitions in the past? Or is
anyone working on anything? 

Many thanks, 


Adriano
