Join us for an evening with Davóne Tines and Jennifer Koh, as they discuss their collaborative work Everything Rises. The work is a collective exploration of family history—telling the stories of Koh’s mother, Gertrude Soonja Lee Koh, a refugee from North Korea during the Korean War, and Tines’s grandmother, Alma Lee Gibbs Tines, who holds vivid memories of anti-Black discrimination and violence dating back many years. These experiences—of the artists and their families—are both the inspiration for and subject matter of this project. Developed over multiple years by an all-BIPOC creative team including composer Ken Ueno and director Alexander Gedeon, the project powerfully reclaims Koh and Tines’ narratives about who they are and how they got to where they are now. The evening will include video and performed excerpts of the work.
