It is compelling to think about the festival framework, Language is Migrant, from Sri Lanka, which has deeply rooted histories of migration, diasporic lineages, and language–based politics. Initially scheduled for January, the festival dates had to be moved forward as a result of COVID–19 safety measures and travel restrictions. Centering mobility as a unifying concept, artists will approach the festival framework from multiple perspectives and various interpretive forms. No experience is singular – boundaries are blurred as various narratives and encounters inevitably inform and impact one another. Colomboscope 2021: Language is Migrant will take place between the 12th and the 22nd of August.
