Illuminated Vessel of Recuerdos 

Processional Performance by The Others (Leila Mire, Silk Worm, Pablo Paredes, Fernando Martinez, Lena Chen, Evan Sakuma, and Talia Dixon)

How do spaces speak to differing temporalities? How might performance activate spaces in new ways? This piece hopes to draw attention to the spectacular silences around Latinx experiences in the Nation of Immigrants narrative. How are the curatorial practices on Angel Island implicated in the invisibility of Latinx immigrant experiences? How do the spirits of those detained on Angel Island live on in the built environment? What does their poetry reveal about present-day experiences of migration and exclusion?
