🌏💬 Each language is a thread in the rich tapestry of our shared humanity! #PAFpicoftheweek 📷 by visitor lacolombianabg soaking in the beauty of lozanohemmer's "Speaking Willow," on permanent view at planetworddc. 🌳✨ As visitors pass beneath its graceful branches, they activate bell-shaped speakers that echo voices from around the world, representing over 99% of the globe's spoken languages. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's interactive sculpture celebrates our linguistic diversity, weaving together distinct rhythms and intonations that reflect the unique cultures they embody. Each sound is a reminder of our interconnectedness and the importance of preserving these voices. #RafaelLozanoHemmer #SpeakingWillow #PublicArtFundNY
