Text2Speech


Text2Speech is a performance and exhibition series curated by Fadl Fakhouri centering artists whose work deals with state borders, interpersonal boundaries, patriarchal standards and linguistic divisions. Text2Speech derives from the point at which art transgresses creative expression to become a form of material protest. Each event is a fundraiser. Follow @text_2_speech to be notified of future events.
