Sub~Lingual at Footscray Arts

Sub~Lingual is an exhibition of play and subversion through the pluralisms of language and translation.

From the Latin ‘under the tongue’, Sub~Lingual speaks with a vital breath, looks beneath the surface, and articulates the coded languages of club/sub/pop cultures, cyberworlds, and chthonic architectures.

Bringing together material language including painting, sculpture, video, and dance – new commissions together with existent works posits text and language as movements to dismantle existing power structures that govern our bodies, tongues, gender, sexuality, and desire.

From 11 - 27 November 2022, Neighbourhood will celebrate place, community and humanity in Melbourne’s West with 18 days of heartfelt performance, exhibitions and experiences.  

This multi artform festival, co-presented by Footscray Community Arts and The Substation, beckons local residents and those from postcodes beyond to immerse themselves in a deeply-engaging program, spotlighting the communities that make up Western Melbourne’s social fabric.
