International Mother Language Day is a worldwide annual observance held on February 21 to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and to promote multilingualism.
Mother Tongue: Youth Artists Explore Language & Cultural Identity
Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose has partnered with Alborz Academy to present youth artwork reflecting on how language impacts and creates culture, in celebration of International Mother Language Day.

Every year, the museum hosts this collaborative exhibit on site, but due to the pandemic, the artwork display is virtual. As you travel through this exhibit, we invite you to click on the artwork for each artist’s statement and audio (when available) to learn more about what inspired each artist’s work.
About Alborz Academy
The goal at Alborz Academy is to reach more students to teach culture, language and heritage. In addition to this, we hope to continue our quest for students to receive foreign language credits, in various districts in Northern California. It is Alborz Academy’s mission to inform and educate modern Iranian-Americans to read and write Farsi, as well as learning the importance and beauty of the culture.
