Festival Langages returns with the theme “Power & Resistance.” This edition explores how language shapes our perceptions, permeates political discourse, and influences collective imaginaries — while also examining how it can be reinvented or subverted.

For two days, the API museum opens its typographic studios for a program of talks, creative workshops and poetic performances.

Ahead of the festival, the API welcomes the typographic collective Bye Bye Binary in residence. The collective develops inclusive and non-binary writing systems, and will use the API studios to experiment with the creation of wooden typefaces and print them on the museum’s historic presses.

All events and activities will be held in French.
