Tamar Williams and Ishbel McFarlane are storytellers and mothers who revel in and wrestle with their Welsh and Scots languages.

Mother Tongues: Talking to Children in Minoritised Languages in Scotland and Wales

About Mother Tongues: Talking to Children in Minoritised Languages in Scotland and Wales

What does it mean to be a mother in or out of your mother tongue? What are the benefits and challenges of telling children – and everyone else – stories in minoritised languages? This event will be a chance to reflect on the language choices we make when we make art for children.

Joined by Naomi Doyle, Tamar’s co-creator, we will hear about their experience of making Mali a’r Môr / Mali & the Sea, performed earlier in the day, while Ishbel will discuss her Early Years residency at The Village.

Suitable for all ages.
