Project Title
2125 Stanley Street
Fiscal Year Awarded
2016

Dahlia Nayar, Margaret Sunghe Paek, and composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster collaborate in a sound and movement excavation of the artists’ own cultural hybridity, investigating the transfer and loss of meaning between generations pre and post immigration. The work is highly adaptable to alternative spaces (from grange halls to galleries), inviting audiences to a makeshift “home” of initially recognizable domestic objects and daily tasks that become reinvented through layers of virtuosic movement, multilingual electronic soundscapes, and live cello. Estimated artist fee: $6,000/performance, $9,000/week (plus housing and travel).
