Over 400 languages are spoken in the United States. For "Tik Pirmyn, Nera Ko Cia Bijoti (Just Go Ahead, There Is Nothing to Fear)," UICB 2nd year MFA student Diane Vadino (@faraway.places.paper) is interviewing one person who speaks each of them — and recording two things: their language story, to be shared in an oral history, and "a message of encouragement or goodwill" in each tongue. A portion of them will be shared this Friday, Oct. 4, at RSVP @rsvpicia, 140 N Linn St., Iowa City, from 5-8 p.m. Come say hello!
