An interdisciplinary salon bringing together contemporary art, language, poetry, performance, and music. Taking Babi Badalov’s radical approach to alphabets and hybrid languages as its point of departure, the project explores migration, displacement, translation and belonging.

With contributions from Babi Badalov, Kimsooja, Marco Scotini/ the Disobedience Archive, Daniel Jonas Roche/ antifacsist architecture, Feda Wardak, Azad Asifovich, Larena Amin, Berirouche Feddal and Attia Shiraz, among others, the salon creates a dynamic space for dialogue across artistic disciplines, languages and cultural geographies.
