Van taalpaal tot totem: Kom wissel toekomswoorde met ons

The Afrikaans Taalmuseum en -monument (ATM) celebrates 50 years in 2025. This once again highlights the importance of this iconic, living sculpture that continuously reflects on the past, present, and future in order to meet the needs of a changing environment and community. Cultural institutions must create experiences that encourage knowledge, intercultural communication, and understanding of others. Furthermore, the ATM serves as a unique contact zone for diverse audiences where perceptions, interpretations, and especially misconceptions about the institution, Afrikaans speakers, and the language are challenged and discussed. So come and join the debate about the role of the ATM in the ever-changing and often divided Afrikaans and South African communities. Everyone’s voice matters!
