Lingo Bingo is a participatory urban project that aims to bring communities together through language games. Video, stop motion, live projection , street art, performance, and improvization combined create an educational, socially engaged, and in situ repertoire of contemporary language games. LingoBingo sees language diversity in multicultural cities as a resource to be cultivated and not a barrier or problem to be solved. Valued languages tend to be European; less valued languages are spoken by immigrant communities. Celebrating the diversity of languages that inhabit our cities and opening spaces for collective and participatory learning can offer a more equal and out of the box dialogue between city dwellers.

People Creating Games Together

Lingo Bingo is a participative art project that is created, shaped and collectively imagined by individuals and communities. We create content for our street performances by inviting people from all different backgrounds to co create educational language games with us.

The Wagon

The Lingo bingo wagon is a colorful and ambulant cart modeled off fairground games with a street art aestethic. Stationed in the public space as an open classroom, equipped with prizes, two buzzers, performers, and live projections, the wagon invites passer bys to participate in a variety of creative and inventive language games.
