Breathing in a Time of Disaster is an improvised choral performance, installation and speculative writing project focusing on the unit of breath in relation to ecological change and community wisdom. Artists Ching-In Chen and Cassie Mira, in collaboration with climate data sound artist Judy Twedt, conduct a Breath Chorus ritual which includes Houston and Seattle area collaborators to explore survival during personal and collective disaster.
We invite you to become part of the Breath chorus: https://bit.ly/breathchorus
