The Speech Act Project Statement (2021-2023)
In each language there is a differing philosophy between meaning, the constitution of sentences, concepts, learning, thoughts, references and intentionality. In philosophy of language and linguistics, a speech act is something expressed by an individual that not only presents information but performs an action as well.
Winnipeg Trails Association, in partnership with Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery have both taken on a leadership role in restoring and maintaining Indigenous Languages by encouraging the general public to engage with local language varieties, no matter what level of understanding, through art and story.
Our programming utilizes Indigenous art to contribute to the enrichment of Indigenous knowledge as well as the prevention of the loss of Indigenous languages.
Funding for The Speech Act Project, Urban would like to thank … Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Languages and Cultures Program – Indigenous Languages Component, The Trans Canada Trail , The Asper Foundation, First Unitarian Universalist Church of Winnipeg, Government of Canada, Tokyo Smoke in the Exchange and the many friends who donated.
