Description

Many children in Germany are bilingual. Many of them because one or both parents come from another country. In many families, German and another language are spoken and mixed on a daily basis, and the children grow up learning to cope without any problems in a bilingual environment. A fascinating phenomenon is the dialogue between parents and children in two different languages without the use of both languages being a difficulty. In the city's public spaces it is common to hear this type of dialogue everywhere. The human sound of the city is varied, colorful, and possesses a diversity of melodies and rhythms.

This artistic project aims to bring together a series of bilingual dialogues between parents and children and present them in a sound installation to share them with listeners in a moment of fascination through listening to the words.

Wie Sie teilhaben können

If you speak a foreign language with your child and he or she responds to you in German, or vice versa, you can participate by sharing a dialogue as follows:

  

  1. Record an audio, with a minimum of 3 seconds and a maximum of 45 seconds, where both languages are heard (structure: question-answer). It can be a short conversation, you can translate words, it can be a game, etc. Both voices should be audible and should alternate without interfering with each other. External noises should be avoided. 

  2. Important: ​

  • no names, private information or contact details should be mentioned in the audio. 

  • Audio recordings that may be offensive, rude or contain discriminatory statements of any kind will not be accepted. This will be checked by native speakers of the language in question.

  1. The digital audio file can be in any format, preferably WAV or Mp3. 

  2. The audio file can be sent in the following ways: 

       a) via the following form (click)

       b) alternatively, it can be sent to the e-mail address: juanpablomoreno.romero@gmail.com

       c) You can also record an audio message directly and send it via WhatsApp: +49 1525 3183654

  • By sending your audio file you agree that it will be used in an art installation that can be exhibited in different places. 

  • Sending audios is absolutely voluntary and does not imply any kind of economic retribution.

  • Deadline: 11.08.2023

About the installation

The sound installation will consist of the location of two speakers from which the voices in the two spoken languages will be heard separately. When the technical development of the installation has been finalized, possible locations for its exhibition will be arranged.
