LinguaMania on social media
On 27 January 2017, Creative Multilingualism took over the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford for LinguaMania, an evening of multilingual experiments, performances, and fun with languages. It marked the launch of the four-year Creative Multilingualism research programme, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), which aims to work out how linguistic diversity and the interplay between languages contribute to human creativity.
The selection of tweets below demonstrate how people engaged with the event on social media.
