tongues at the gallery brings together the work of 10 artists to think through the process of alternating from one language or code to another. Borne out of necessity and applied as a means of gaining visibility and recognition within a social, political or professional context, code-switching is also exercised to tactical and creative ends. This exhibition considers the ways in which code-switching becomes a means of expressing multiple subjectivities, recognising the loaded significance that the term carries in relation to language, race and class, and the direct implications it has for self-expression, social acceptance and identity.

The exhibition opened on the 18th September and the full catalogue is available to view here.
