Meeting Description:

This project explores multilingualism’s revolutionary potential and creative
force in language, literature, thought and the visual arts. ‘Multilingualism’
is understood as more than the co-existence or overlap of more than one
word-based communication system in one work or one language or one culture but
also as the confluence of word, image and sound on one site. ‘Creativity’ is
conceived as the novel ways of thinking engendered in imaginative works
emerging from engagement with more than one language. On the one hand, writers
and artists creating texts and exhibits out of multiple languages are able to
invent new ways of seeing the world through cultural dialogue. On the other
hand, this multilingual imagination generates at the same time an ethics
promoting resistance to segregation and cultural determinism. ‘Creativity’,
then, relates both to the invention of unforeseen nuances in linguistic
meaning, and also to modes of improved understanding through exchange.
