         Mother Tongue is an ongoing interactive community visual dialogue. It began in 1991 between two artists in Holyoke MA and has since grown to be a national project including more than 128 artists, students, and community members who have created over 300 works, in response to each other in dialogue. The artwork takes the form of 1'x4' horizontal panels ranging from traditional paintings, to multimedia assemblage and low relief sculptures. The exhibition is dynamic changing its arrangement between, and sometimes during shows, reflecting the fluid nature of the visual conversation.
          In 1999 The Digital Design Center at Hampshire College began supporting the creation of a web site for viewing and browsing the Mother Tongue visual dialogues. The digital version of the project is in an early form, and we are excited to see how it will be used and how it will evolve in the future. For anyone interested in collaborating, hosting the Mother Project, or wanting more information contact Mary Bernstein.
