Asian Heritage Month at Morrow 

Solo works by Ziyian Kwan & Kage

Duration of Performance: 1hr

Gathering in community on the unceded, ancestral, occupied  territories of the  xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and  Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations.

Volume Vulva Vervefeatures two vibrant solo works by accomplished creators/performers: Taiko artist Kage and dance artist Ziyian Kwan. Through sound composition, live vocals and movement, Kage’s Itadakimasuexplores how food intersects with ancestral teachings and community, and how this is being threatened by colonial and capitalist forces. Ziyian's The Odd Volume similarly emerges in resistance to forces that assimilate, displace, and racialize, articulating through movement and storytelling, her immigrant experience as a first generation Chinese-Filipina. Volume Vulva Verve powerfully voices the importance of preserving cultural knowledge and facilitating healing within ourselves and our communities.
