Dear Artists,Is technology pushing the native languages to the background?
Do you think the native languages will fade to oblivion in the coming years?
To answers these questions, http://www.kannadasaahithya.com/ in association with http://www.samvaada.com/ is coming out with an Art exhibition,
Desagathi Bhashe* in Context of IT
on how IT can be leveraged by the "native" languages. Considering the ubiquitous presence of English in IT, if we don't promote our native language in the cyber world, it might well see the fate of other "dead" languages.
Come up with your ideas in the form of Paintings/Cartoons for the program proposed to be held in Bangalore.
Don’t miss this ideal opportunity to showcase your creativity!!
