Performance and gathering bringing together the Asian and Asian American community in Utah around the exhibition Somatic Tracings
The event is co-hosted by UMOCA, OCA, JACL.
Somatic Tracing is an exhibition and performance drawing from the history of the building of the transcontinental railroad to notions of invisible Asian labor and healing. Salmon collaborates with four Asian American performers, who embody and converge these stories with their own. They create an elusive choreography and actions that are ever-transforming, fluctuating between the autonomous and collective.
