We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of “From the Root of Her Tongue” by So-Yeon Kim, part of our Publishing Dialogues series. Pre-order your copy now! 📚✨

In “From the Root of Her Tongue,” So-Yeon Kim delves into the origins of language through signs, symbols, and iconography, transforming written script into a visual narrative. The book invites you to experience a visual language, featuring curated images from second-hand books and archives, mimicking written syntax and highlighting the power of images as language.

Accompanied by Mariana Lobão’s text, “Weaving the Mesh (Spider Thoughts),” which explores weaving, memory, and cognition inspired by Kim’s work and Paolo Veronese’s painting of Arachne. Lobão beautifully connects the myth of Arachne and Athena to cultural memory and the intricate patterns of human thought.
