As a response to, and engagement with, Lizza May David’s painting installation that is part of the group exhibition “As We See Us: A Decolonial Salon des Refusés”, sound artist Anjeline de Dios will perform a version of her work-in-progress, “Speak, My Language”. Expanding on David’s visual meditations that complicate colonial narratives of memory and migration, De Dios’ work sounds out the in/visibility of the voice, at once informed by her research on the musical labor of overseas Filipino musicians and her own experience as an artist-scholar outside of, yet tied to, her homeland. Through chant compositions, non-linear movements, and moments of collective sounding with the audience, she poses as inquiry and possibility the ‘sonic care work’ of hearing (for) oneself as well as others.

No registration necessary; all are welcome! 🙂
