Language-based Art

Language-based art uses words, texts, or spoken language as its primary medium to create meaning or evoke emotion. It can include poetry, storytelling, spoken word, performances, or conceptual pieces where language itself becomes the artistic material. Unlike traditional visual art, it emphasizes the power of language to communicate ideas, challenge perceptions, or explore cultural and social themes. The focus is on how words and their presentation can shape experience, offering a dynamic way to engage audiences through meaning, sound, and context.
