ABOUT PERFORMANCE:
In honor of the new exhibition, "No Place Like Home: The Diaspora" Bethany Lacktorin will be doing a live performance.
Expressed in words, wind, song and sound we turn over the layers of this land. A system of integration was evident in the remnants of my own adoption. Whatever methods of assimilation were carried out here, while it may not have been where those methods originated, and indeed not where they ceased, it was a place where they most certainly took hold.
In 2016, Korean-adoptee Bethany Lacktorin created My Ocean, a sound + performance installation at Ordway Prairie. In 2017 a sequel performance installation was held at the West Central Research & Outreach Center (WCROC) Horticultural Display Garden for the Rural Arts & Cultural Summit at U of M, Morris titled, A Steady & Irresistible Wind. Poems, prose and song taken from both pieces will be performed by Bethany Lacktorin and The My Ocean Shape Note Singers.
