Life 🌏 Wisdom 🌍 Organic Growth 🌎 During your visit to @PlanetWordDC, pause beneath artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s (@lozanohemmer) interactive sculpture “Speaking Willow” and activate the bell-shaped speakers. Each speaker has been programmed with sample recordings of a different language, and together they represent the native tongues of over 99% of the planet’s population. Lozano-Hemmer’s willow tree is a fitting metaphor for the unique but interrelated languages spoken today. 📸 by @spasticg33k (at Planet Word Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrFoXIszAp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love museums, as everyone knows them. I deeply enjoy them, they renew my creativity, help me to clear my mind and make me challenge myself. This new museum in my city is wonderful !! Perfectly curated, interactive, interesting and magical. For me to read is to open a book and imagine so many things, there I saw live what happens in my head when I open a book. I came out feliz !! #planetworddc #streetphoto #igdc #washingtonlife #dc_eyes #wearestreet #life_is_streets #dctography #ourdistrict #acreativedc #womenphotographer #mycity #dc_spc #streetmeetdc (at Planet Word) https://www.instagram.com/p/CReKKXXhMMP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today, I had the privilege of sharing the stage at the fabulous @planetworddc with my dear @megmedinabooks. And by that I mean my dear #NewberyAward winner #MegMedina! This event was coordinated by the indefatigable @kelp52, with the enthusiastic support from @aobfound. I’ve had the joy of translating Merci Suárez Changes Gears and Merci Suárez Can’t Dance. And that means that Meg and I have a friendship that is at least 800-pages long. Last night, Meg, Valerie Block,(my wife —not on social media!), and I took an Uber to “Cuba Libre.” We had a great time. I hope that one day we will be able to go to #CubaLibre, without the quotation marks. Apropos of that, while over one hundred fifth graders and their teachers from two local schools entered the auditorium, we played #PatriaYVida. I told the audience that today we commemorate the first time that the #Cuban national anthem was sung on the island. And that was the reason why we were playing the song that has become a de facto anthem for #Cubans everywhere, while one of its composers remains in prison in #Cuba, precisely for singing that song. Then we talked about the #MerciSuárez trilogy, and the joys and the challenges of translating such beautiful, polyphonic, and multilayered #books. Some days, I can’t believe my life. And today was one of those days. Thanks to everyone who made this possible! Now, go and read Meg Medina… in English, in Spanish, in the language that makes you happy! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj9Atxjv5pD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Language Comes to Life at Planet Word Museum

Today celebrates the grand opening of Planet Word Museum, a new museum devoted to language.  The new attraction in Washington D.C. aims to inspire a love of language through interactive exhibitions and high-tech displays. Explore the landscape of language at D.C.'s newest museum where the power of words and languages is the focus.  Exhibits explore the various forms and functions as well as the power of words used in poetry to music to advertising. One eye-catching display is the 20-foot tall “Wall of Words” that traces the linguistic roots of the English language.  Another large interactive space explores the diversity of the world’s languages, with native speakers explaining differences in grammar and linguistic richness.  Smaller galleries explore rhetoric, humor and the use of language to sell and to manipulate emotions. The museum is free to visit but timed tickets must be reserved. 🗺Colonial Capital Tours ☎️ 800.334.3754 💻 www.ColonialCapitalTours.com 📧 info@ColonialCapitalTours.com #studenttours #schooltrips #grouptours #educationaltours #fieldtrips #daytrips #onedaytrips #studentgroups #schoolgroups #educationalstudenttours #nycdoevendor #studenttrips #schoolfieldtrips #educationalprograms #washingtondc #newmuseum #words #language #planetworddc #planetwordmuseum #planetword #colonialcapitaltours @colonialcapitaltours@planetworddc
