Lyndal Hordacre Kobayashi is a PhD candidate in Linguistics at Uni SA, Research Centre for Languages and Cultures. Her research looks at the concept of ‘language/s’ from the perspective of monolingual Australians who use English as a single language. Having lived and worked as a visual artist in Europe, Japan and Australia for many years, Lyndal applies a novel methodology where experiential arts-based processes are workshopped to engage participants visually with their lived experiences with language/s. She hopes to demonstrate the potential and relevance of heralding new knowledge by stepping into a sphere of creative activity, mystery, and discovery.
