Elisapie‘s Uvattini explores and reflects on her home community and childhood through story song and image filmed in collaboration with Émilie Monnet; the renowned filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin offers a unique and rare live performance of music alongside rising, next generation voice Jeremy Dutcher; acclaimed experimental electronic musician William Basinski invokes the power of his own archive and memory in a new work Arcadia Archives that manipulates the experience of time through sound and image—40-year-old tape loops transformed in a cinematic conversation with new video created by his longstanding personal and creative partner, artist-filmmaker James Elaine; and Eiko Ishibashi offers GIFT, her latest live and evolving collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, which refracts and reframes visual storytelling through a new sonic lens.
Each artist considers and responds to similar questions: What can the past tell us about our present? How do collaborations shape creative imaginings and give new form to their expression across disciplines? How do archives of story, song, and image—both personal, communal—live beyond us? What is carried forward, and what is left behind?
