Residency at Art Lacuna Space
A report
During the summer term we had a gallery visit conducted by course leader Edwina Fitzpatrick as a South London art map ecology the artists runs a space called Art Lacuna near Clapham Station.
The space provides a work space for artists and offers a gallery based show opportunity. We MFA artists organised a workshop led by curator Lucy Day and a critique discussion by Edwina Fitzpatrick and Anne-marie Creamer on the third day of the residency.
For one week of the residency I focused on my research to learn more about the ecology of Andaman and Nicobar Islands Group of the Indian Ocean, I visited last December. I collected the entire list of flora and fauna of this Island. Started working on my photo novel by using software program PNG and Photoshop.
At the time I came across about an article of about a tribe Boa Sr. A report by Ishaan Tharoor published in the Times News India ‘Off the coast of India, Another Language Dies’.
In the article he mentioned an indigenous woman who dies with her language as she was the last member of a community named Boa. Additionally the article expresses concern with the community which is dependent on forest and mentions ‘ Boa Sr was in effect their last link to the olden days. "It's the end of thousands upon thousands of years of history," says Miriam Ross, spokeswoman for Survival International, a London-based NGO that defends the rights of tribal peoples. "A whole way of looking at the world is finished, and there's no way of bringing it back."
Further he writes "There's a consensus [among linguists] that we are seeing an unprecedented pace of language extinction. And it is accelerating," says David Harrison, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and co-founder of the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. Of the world's roughly 7,000 spoken languages, over half are spoken by only 0.2% of all the people on earth. Nearly 80% of the world's population speaks just 83 languages, a proportion that is growing as globalization and urbanization encourage migrants and rural outliers to learn the dominant tongue in lieu of their own. Every 14 days, estimates Harrison's institute, a language dies.
This article is worrisome and, I pondered we are developing, civilizing the world or eradicating destroying our roots (!) What will be an achievable future by running an engine based civilization.
