Sponsored by the public administration of Catalonia, the “Casa de Les Llengües” opened in Barcelona on November20th. Conducted by Linguamón, the House of Languages will open in its final form in 2012 with a 7000m² exhibition space dedicated to languages.

Rozenn Milin was invited at the opening where she and Linguamón director Antoni Mir i Fullana, along with his team, examined possible ways of a partnership between the two structures. The work session eventually agreed on the idea of data exchange thanks to which a lot of research effort will mutually be spared. On October 6th, head members of Linguamón attending the Sorosoro progress assessment meeting at the Musée du quai Branly were seduced by our video production and approved a possible joint production for future shootings.
