Can language become a tool for a more inclusive world?
Glωssic Isnaf studies the language idiom of Ioannina, focusing on the plural and embodied character of language. It traces the gendered features of language, as well as the relationship between human and non-human beings. WordMord writes a hybrid narrative, in which a non-binary fictional creature named Isnaf is born in the Pamvotida lake bed. The hybrid voices were created using algorithmic audio processing processes. Remnants of processed hides from the “tabakika” stores that operated in the city until 1970 are exhibited.
