:: For Want of a Better Word ::
You know that feeling when you have the perfect word to express what you mean, and there is no equivalent translation? For Want of a Better Word is a multimedia project reflecting on language, and the unique and poignant words that exist across cultures.
Culturally and linguistically diverse Maribyrnong residents are invited to contribute to a dictionary of ‘better words’.
If you would like to share your own words with the project, please click here and fill-in the form to express your interest in the project. Daniele will be in touch to provide more information. Ideally, you will be able to join Daniele for a couple of brief video chats to help find the right word, scheduled around your availability in June and July
Join as an individual, a family or household group. All ages and languages are welcome!
This project is supported by Maribyrnong City Council
