Jèrriais – The Shock of the New
 1st - 10th Oct 2016

 

CCA GALLERIES INTERNATIONAL is delighted to take part in the JERSEY FESTIVAL OF WORDS. Our exhibition: ‘Jèrriais – The Shock of the New’ leaves no doubt of the fascinating role of Jèrriais in current modern language.


Philip Regan’s typographic print series ‘Endangered Species’ will be on sale alongside film and prints by Rychel Scott. On Wednesday 5 October, from 1pm - 2pm, artist, poet and linguists Geraint Jennings will be reading recent poems and discussing how he attempts to make the sounds of Jèrriais work in the abstract for the ears of an audience which is mostly non-Jèrriais speaking.

Entry to the reading is free, although reserving a seat by emailing: enquiries@ccagalleriesinternational.com is advisable. The exhibition runs from Saturday 1st October (10am - 1pm) – Friday 7 October (10am -5pm).

CCA Galleries International, 10 Hill Street, St Helier, JE2 4UA. Telephone 01534 739900 or visit: www.ccagalleriesinternational.com for further
