Broken Englizh, a collection of stories told in non-standard forms of English, aims to shatter cultural misconceptions and celebrate identities

A design consultant and visual storyteller, Ravista Mehra’s enquiry into the word ‘decolonisation’ to make sense of its magnitude resulted in an ongoing collection of personal narratives by people from across the world. Titled Broken Englizh and launched in November 2020, the project chronicles stories related to identity, culture, racism, and inequality, written in contributors’ mother languages along with an English translation by Mehra. She tells us, “The collection is an effort to gather stories from people that might have not been told before, either because they didn’t think it was important to tell or because others didn’t think it important to listen or read.”
