Program Information (Summary)
The work gives musical expression to immigrants whose voices are suppressed in their adopted countries and to minorities silenced at home. Michiko Saiki’s video depicts two societies in an artificial world, following an observer who judges the other society without examining her own conduct. The collaboration invites self-reflection and connection through empathy, curiosity and openness.
