Language as an Organism: Natalia Papaeva (losing your mother tongue)
BARTALK - A podcast by BARTALK
Categories:
In this second episode of Language as an Organism, Yun & Rae talk to performance artist Natalia Papaeva about her work Yokhor, in which she sings the only two lines she remembers from her favourite song in her mother tongue Buryat. Natalia answers questions from the audience and discusses losing a language, gaining new ones, layers of repetition, performing grief and more.
You can see the trailer of Yokhor here: https://vimeo.com/368295268
