A dialogue must take place, precisely because we don’t speak the same language

Please join us for an online discussion with Jeffery Hou, Eleni Katrini, Aristodimos Komninos and Brook Teklehaimanot moderated by Stefan Gruber and Chun Zheng about spaces and practices of commoning, their situated histories and diverse etymologies, and the possibility of translating them from one language or culture into another. Based on their respective contributions to the eponymous exhbition for this year’s Tbilisi Architecture Biennale, we will reflect on 作伙 (tsò-hué) in Hoklo Taiwanese, the lost meaning of ‘κοινωνία’ (kinonía) in Greek, ሰፈር (Sefer) in Amharic, and the 大同 (Da-tong) in Classical Chinese.
