TEXT2SPEECH: TEXT2IMAGE

Text2Speech is a performance and exhibition series curated by Fadl Fakhouri highlighting artists whose work centers on borders. This edition highlights linguistic borders and contemplates whether text is itself an image. How does this change how we interpret language, which originated as a collection of symbols and hieroglyphics; arguably still the case, as witnessed in contemporary language.

Come see the exhibition at one of our shows or email zoe@counterpulse.org to coordinate a viewing time.
