Mother Tongue explores language, identity and cultural disconnection. Sarah Maple recalls growing up in a Punjabi-speaking household but never learning the language herself. Her video mimics 1980s language tapes, starting with simple phrases before cutting to deeply emotional sentences like “I wish I learned Punjabi when you were alive.” These interruptions highlight the loss felt when language and heritage go unshared. Scenes drawn from real conversations intersperse the tape, visualising shared experiences of linguistic and cultural fracture. The work speaks to the silence between generations, and how language - when absent - can become a painful barrier to belonging.
