In brief
Occitan village holds festival of minoritised languages online for second year with 20 cultural offerings
Karen, Breton, Navajo, Sami, Cape Verdean Creole, Ladin among languages represented in Ostana Prize
The journey through those languages will be done in round tables and conversations with people belonging to the literary and cultural scene, with videos and recordings illustrating the richness of linguistic diversity, and with film screenings too.
The award is organized by the cultural association Chambra d’Òc, and has support from other Occitan organizations and administrations.
Last year we featured a short interview with Ines Cavalcanti, the festival’s artistic director, where she explained that the prize “aims to put the spotlight on the issue of languages in trouble, which are different from the majority languages of the states where they are found, and also on their right to survive.”
