The Xenophiles Talk Language
Four migrant writers celebrate the power of all that is peculiar, foreign, strange, and original with provocative readings and a lively conversation with the audience. This April, the Xenophiles talk language. How does language serve as a reflection of cultural identity? Can you really know someone if you don't speak the same native language?

About the Xenophiles
The Xenophiles are Vamba, the Liberian-Kuwaiti scholar from Groningen; Julie, the American who speaks Dutch with a Frisian accent; Amal, the Indian Sri-Lankan who arrived from Glasgow; and Richard, the Dutchman who still swears like a South African on his bike.
