Theme: Language Communities & Human Connection

Language is the thread that weaves humanity together, shaping how we connect, share, and understand each other. From the languages of Indigenous communities to efforts in reclaiming those that are endangered, language allows us to communicate our shared experiences and unique perspectives. Whether through spoken word, gestures, or writing, our connections to one another are strengthened by the diversity of languages spoken around the world.

Located at: UBC Life Building- Room 2212, University of British Columbia Point Grey
