It go have to adjust

Our project IT GO HAVE TO ADJUST – on the parasitic nature of language and the contaminating role of language in oppressive, dehumanising systems – echoes on through the SAVVYZΛΛR radiowaves:

We start with a three-part series, where librarian Tal Lewinsky is in conversation around the possibilities and impossibilities of language with thinkers and writers. A time in which newly coined terms like „remigration“ transport, thinly veiled, violent fantasies of mass deportation demands even more careful listening and use of language.
