A series of experimental video works exploring how language connects us across oceans, rivers, lands, imposed borders, and time.

Now You’re Speakin’ My Language is a new digital commissioning partnership between the Institute of Modern Art and NOWNESS ASIA. It presents five new films by artists that consider memory, language, and place through their work. Taungurung artist and curator Kate ten Buuren has commissioned five artists of Australian First Nations, Southeast Asian, and Asia Pacific backgrounds/diasporas to create new video works that reflect on the ways that language and story connect us across oceans, rivers, lands, imposed borders, and time.

The commissions will premiere on NOWNESS ASIA, a global film platform presenting the best of arts and culture in Asia to audiences across the region. This project will introduce the work of five Australia-based video artists to a global audience engaged with film, culture, and contemporary art, and profile the strength and innovative practices of contemporary artists in Australia.
