Back in 2004, a group of Nordic chefs signed the New Nordic Manifesto - a culinary call to arms advocating for a localised approach to cuisine, including the use of seasonal ingredients. 21 years later, it’s become a global movement, inspiring an exhibition called New Nordic at the National Museum of Norway that explores its influence across art, architecture and design.

Writing against erasure is at the heart of Tacit Tongues at .projectspace, Paris.

The exhibition responds to a legacy of adaptation and erasure experienced by cultures and languages throughout the 20th century - particularly in Mongolia and the Republic of Buryatia. Informed by Indigenous approaches to storytelling, artists from these regions and Berlin’s Slavs and Tatars use writing and reading as acts of resilience.

Curated by Timur Zolotoev, Tacit Tongues is on view until 19 July.
