New Media Gallery opening reception: we being so

April 18, 2025, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Event Details

An act of embodiment through sound, space, and presence, this multimedia installation considers how bodies and frequencies shape a room, its narratives, and the rituals it conveys. Objects once full of life disappear into the hands of speculative remembrance. Interactions with objects serve as windows into cultural memory, testimony, and the layered histories embedded within a household—resonating with the experiences of immigrant and itinerant families. By sonifying these relationships, the work explores sound as a means of self-determination and meaning-making, tracing connections between land, displacement, fragmentation, and communal memory. Audience participation is integral, as movement and being actively shape the evolving site. Through collaborative exchange and interaction, the work unfolds as a fleeting yet intuitive resonance, where sound becomes a site of belonging, adaptation, and transformation.
