ReflectSpace presents ReCoding the Cod ex: Cultural Heritage through Language\, an exhibition that considers the complicated relationship between language\, social justice\, and cult ural heritage. The codex is the historical name for a book\, this becomes the starting point for the artists to re-create or re-code the way languag e is seen and read. Located inside Central Library\, Glendale&rsquo\;s ult imate repository of language and books\, ReflectSpace is the ideal setting for this exhibition\, which intersects art\, social justice\, and languag e.
 \;
Through drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, installation and video\, the artists employ language in the form of script\, handwriti ng\, calligraphy\, historical records\, and archival and commercial texts\ , to highlight social justice issues that are relevant to their unique cul tural communities. Based in the U.S. and Korea\, ReCoding the Codex addresses colonization\, Japanese American incarceration\, and exploita tion of agricultural workers\, creating an international dialogue about ha rnessing the power of text and word in innovative ways.
 \;
In the PassageWay\, works from Self Help Graphics &\; Art\, an East L.A . art institution\, extend these themes through pieces from their vast pri nt and monograph collection.
