(English follows] La série "Mutterzungen (Langues maternelles)"réunit des formes brodées qui évoquent des plats traditionnels tout en pouvant être lues comme des signes. Les recettes se transmettent et se préservent au sein des familles; elles révèlent souvent davantage sur les origines que la langue parlée. Les histoires personnelles et les identités peuvent être effacées lorsque la langue maternelle est soumise à l'arbitraire politique ou aux conséquences de la violence coloniale. À l'inverse, la culture culinaire rend visibles les continuités et les métissages. Le titre ramène la langue maternelle au corps : de ce qui est parlé à ce qui est goûté.
_______________

The series "Mutterzungen (Mother Tongues)" presents embroidered forms that refer to dishes and can be read as signs. Recipes are passed on and preserved within families; they often reveal more about origin than spoken language does. Personal histories and identities are overwritten when a mother tongue is subject to political arbitrariness or the product of colonial violence. Food culture, by contrast, makes continuities and hybridities visible. The title shifts the mother tongue back into the body: from what is spoken to what is tasted.
