Branscombe House Artist Residency

Call For Submissions: What We Can't Say in English
社区征集：无法用英文说的词语

Do you speak a language other than English? Branscombe House artist-in-residence Lou Sheppard is looking for words from other languages that have no English equivalent. If you speak a language other than English and have a word you can’t find a translation into English for please contact Lou at lou@lousheppard.com.

Over the next few months the artist will gather these words, their attempted translations and the contributor’s names, and create a podcast and poster series for the City of Richmond.
 
您会说英语以外的语言吗？ 列治文的布兰斯科姆屋（Branscombe House）驻地艺术家Lou Sheppard正在寻找在英文中没有对应的其它语言的词语。如果您会说英语以外的语言、并且知道无法翻译成英文的词语，请与Lou联系，邮箱地址为：lou@lousheppard.com
 
在接下来的几个月中，Lou将会集合这些词语、它们尝试性的翻译、以及投稿者的名字，然后用这些信息为列治文市创造系列播客（podcast）和海报。

About Lou
Lou Sheppard is a Canadian artist working in interdisciplinary audio, performance and installation. They have exhibited in Canada and internationally, notably in the Toronto Biennial, in the Antarctic Biennale and the Antarctic Pavilion in Venice. 

Of settler ancestry, Sheppard was raised on unceded Mi'Kmaq territory and is based in Halifax/K’jipuktuk. Sheppard graduated from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 2006 and then studied English and Education at Mount Saint Vincent University. In 2017, Sheppard received the Emerging Atlantic Artist Award and in 2018 was an international residency recipient of the Sobey Art Award. 

In their current practice, Sheppard uses processes of translation and metaphor to interrogate structures of power and performativity in data and language. Their work often leads them to collaborate with communities and with musicians, visual artists and performing artists. Learn more at lousheppard.com
