:: For Want of a Better Word ::

You know that feeling when you have the perfect word to express what you mean, and there is no equivalent translation? For Want of a Better Word is a multimedia project reflecting on language, and the unique and poignant words that exist across cultures.

Culturally and linguistically diverse Maribyrnong residents are invited to contribute to a dictionary of ‘better words’.

If you are interested in participating in the project and can attend two 1hr-long workshops in the last two week of May, please fill-in the form below to express your interest in the project and for more information.
The workshops will be held throughout May and June. Dates are flexible to suit your availability.

Join as an individual, a family or household group. All ages and languages are welcome!

This project is supported by Maribyrnong City Council
