This collaboration with Ruby City on June 4th at 8pm features the Texas premiere of Helix by composer NNUX and video artist Martha Maya and the premiere of an expanded version of Vicki Nguyen’s Ginger Flavored Bubblegum. NNUX and Martha Maya’s Helix simulates a spiral from pre-Hispanic to contemporary times, contemplating the cycles and inheritance in women's collective trauma, which has determined the ways we have been shaped as individuals through generations. Nguyen’s Ginger-Flavored Bubblegum addresses violence against Asian Americans, specifically the murders of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and Christina Yi. Nguyen honors Cha’s text, aiming to "transcend from pain and suffering and focus on the beauty in the words of her poetry. Her repetitions, imagery, wordplay, and deconstruction of the French and English languages brought me so much joy.” Arrive early to visit the sculpture garden and hear soundscapes including music from our CCI workshop participants as you walk through.
