Description
Hyphen explores the story of this humble piece of connective punctuation from antiquity to the present day. Derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "to tie together", the hyphen has played a significant role in creating new words and concepts.
The journey of the hyphen reveals its quiet power to speak to the experiences of individuals who identify as hyphenated, bringing people together while also bridging gaps. Through personal stories, Hyphen examines how language and identity intertwine, and how we can navigate, articulate, and empower new identities.
