Athut / Words Bounce

In this three-person show, language functions as both subject and medium, “transforming, evolving, disappearing, and rebounding.” Through painting, photography, video and installation, Joi T. Arcand, Patrick Cruz and Susan Hiller employ written and spoken words, glyphs and syllabics, songs, conversations and graffiti. By these means they champion the resurgence of an Indigenous language, explore the origins of a mother tongue, and map the places where language and technology intersect.
