4th November: launch of Native Tongues, celebrating new Jèrriais names for seaweeds found along Jersey’s shores
Join us to celebrate the launch of Native Tongues, a collaborative project that is part of ArtHouse Jersey's long-term, socially engaged project Abundant Futures. Native Tongues is by artist and researcher Kaajal Modi, with multilingual children, native Jèrriais speakers, and the wider community.
In 2024, six young learners of Jèrriais explored the connections between language, migration, climate, and belonging through poetry, foraging, storytelling, and conversation. Together, they created new Jèrriais names for seaweeds found along Jersey’s shores - eight of which have now been officially recognised by the Académie du Jèrriais and added to the Jèrriais dictionary.
