What does it mean to honor lineage and connect to ancestral identity, homeland and cultural memory?
Four artists will explore those themes and more at a one-day performance art festival called "The Land We Carry," as part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Emerging Artist Fellowship.
KPBS arts reporter Julia Dixon Evans spoke with the curator and two artist fellows about what it means to "carry the land," and how they use art to heal.
Guests:
- hamsa fae, artist, curator and director, AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship
- C. Ryu, artist, AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship
- haven luya, artist, AAPI Emerging Artist Fellowship
