birdcage
Encounters with ghosts, diasporic memories, dreams, and grandmothers.
birdcage is an introspective multi-media and performance work that reflects on family, migration, and memory through written text (scores and poetry), lanterns, voice, and music. The publication is designed to be assembled into a simple lantern that holds the scores and poems and invites the viewer to engage with the content in a non-linear way. The scores, poems, and lanterns are also part of a live performance work for solo violin and electronic tape. Created in collaboration with violinist, photographer Ilana Waniuk.
