PERFORMING LANGUAGES
The Performing Languages Conference in February 2019 saw academics, artists, performers and cultural practitioners come together to watch, discuss and debate what it means to perform languages. In the words of one conference participant, "What I liked most about the conference is that it didn’t simply advocate for creative multilingualism; it made it happen, there and then."

POETRY IN MOTION
Oxford University hosted ‘Poetry in Motion’ in June 2019 at Wolfson College with academics, students, artists and creatives.
By engaging with literature from around the world in innovative, relevant and unexpected ways, Poetry in Motion showcased artistic proficiency and cultural splendour through captivating performances from hip-hop artists and lyricists Lady Sanity and Stanza Divan and spoken-word poet Rupinder Kaur.
Poetry in Motion formed part of a one-day academic workshop, Found in Translation – Bringing Russian and Punjabi Culture to British Stages, organised by Creative Multilingualism's Creative Economy strand.
