BOGE XIAO · PORTFOLIO

Language & manuscript research.

My work follows how people pass on language, knowledge and memory. A continuing manuscript study sits alongside collaborative language fieldwork.

LANGUAGES · MANUSCRIPTS · ANTHROPOLOGY

An open manuscript spread on yellowed paper, covered in vertical columns of handwritten characters with small red marks among the black ink.

ONGOING RESEARCH · SINCE 2024

Cultural Rhythms of Writing

One continuing inquiry: from the persistence of variant characters to the practices that keep manuscripts readable.
