Arts Council England project run by Jez Dolan and Joseph Richardson. The project was a mission to save Polari, one of the worldXXXrsquo;s most endangered languages, a bold yet secretive part of Gay history. Oral history interviews were conducted and used as the basis of a series of exhibitions.
The project used Polari as a starting point to examine how contemporary LGBT groups and individuals view, understand, appreciate, utilise, or see reflected in their own XXXlsquo;communities of languageXXXrsquo; the influence of Polari, and its impact on how we communicate today. The project produced a series of exhibitions, performances, visual artwork and audience participation.
