‘Everyone Says..’ brings together a multitude of voices speaking a greeting and the word ‘tree’ in 39 different languages.
Artist Jane Pitt recorded the voices in the Moors Valley, Bere Regis and Boscombe areas over a long summer 2023 weekend. Played out through speakers on stilts, they mingle and interconnect with each other and the forest. Voices from a rich community of people speaking languages, patois and dialects that include: English, Polish, Farsi, Portuguese, Romany, Croatian, Gaelic, Nepalese, Ukrainian, Yoruba amongst more African, S & SE Asian, SWANA and European languages.
